A letter to the Masters of the Universe

It's been the Worst Decade for Wall Street Evah-



Just in case no one's told you, Marie Cocco will:

...The reason you are such a big story is that you’ve stolen our money. Or at least that’s how most of the country sees it. First you broke just about everything you touched: mortgages, 401(k)s, the kids’ college accounts, and even the employers who provide paychecks—the chump change that middle-class America counts on while you live high. Then we had to bail you out.

You think those auto executives looked bad when they appeared shocked, shocked to find that Congress didn’t really appreciate their traveling in corporate jets to come and beg for their bailouts?

Well, no one hates Detroit as much as they hate Wall Street. At least the Big Three make something people need to get to work and take their kids to soccer and pick up the groceries. What, exactly, do they do with a derivative?


A derivative is a financial vehicle designed to drive off with your money.

That much people, except the financiers, understand.

They still see themselves like this when the rest of the world sees them like this
