Via WonketteI came acrossthis Banksta Rap/Rant posted by John Derbyshire at NRO. This is my profane rebuttal to this rant.
Below is the rebuttal to the Banksta Rant publish by NRO. Paragraph by paragraph:
We are Wall Street. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn’t matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didn’t hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone’s 401k doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until you lose. I’ve never heard of anyone going to Gamblers Anonymous because they won too much in Vegas.
Sure, your job is to make money. Your job is NOT to commit fraud. What Goldman, RBS, Lehman, ML and others did was pretty close to fraud. They had financial instruments that they know were shit. They sold those shitty instruments to unsuspecting investors telling them that they were gold. I know that Bankstas will counter this by saying that the investors should do their own research and so on. Sure, people go to Casinos to gamble, but you don't get to play with loaded dice or have a card up your sleeve when you go to a casino. Pull that shit when you next go to Vegas on your company junket and see what happens. Until then, shut the fuck up. Oh, and listen asshole, if the whole Wall Street business is nothing but a gamble, why should anyone pay you your bonuses, and your salaries? How do you justify that?
Well now the market crapped out, & even though it has come back somewhat, the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.
No idiot, the government and the people are looking for accountability. If I commit a fraud in my workplace that lost 100s of millions of my customer's dollars, I will be sitting in jail. You and your ilks should be in jail. Instead, you get to write long rants about who the big bad world is treating you so badly. Just be grateful that you are not in the jail and shut the fuck up.
Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you’re only going to hurt yourselves. What’s going to happen when we can’t find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We’re going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work till 10pm or later. We’re used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don’t take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don’t demand a union. We don’t retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we’ll eat that.
HA HA HA HA HA HA. Thanks for the laugh motherfucker. I really needed it. Have you met people who are working down 2-3 jobs just to pay their health care bills? You pampered brats. I would love to see you try write a decent software program or teach a room full of inner city kids. Or how about this, try being a middle manager in an average size manufacturing plant. Let's see how long you last. And by the way, next time a Wall Street fat cat whines about unions, go ahead and punch the motherfucker right in the neck. Many of the investors these thugs swindled were pension funds for unions. It is the investors like CALPERS and Plumbers and Electricians Union of New Jersey (and many other unions, all over the US) investing their member dues with these wall street bankstas, that is supporting the Fifth Avenue apartment of your dominatrix mistress, you limp dick asshole.
For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We’re going to take your cushy jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of America. Say goodbye to your overtime and double time and a half. I’ll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much.
No motherfucker, you can't. You were not too busy working, you were too busy committing fraud and doing blow off hookers' asses. You are totally and utterly incapable of teaching anyone about anything. I personally would never let you teach anything to my 3 year old. 3 year old kids need to learn things such honesty, affection, work ethic and so on. I doubt you can teach one of those things. Also, basic math. I doubt you can do 2+2=4. Your answer to 2+2 would be "For a fee, I can make it look like whatever value you want." No thanks asshole. Leave our kids and schools alone.
So now that we’re going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we’re going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren’t going to leave the 35 percent tip at our business dinners anymore.
LOL. You. Cheap. Ass. Mother. Fucker. You leave 35% tip at your business dinners? In other words, you tip well when SOMEONE ELSE (YOUR COMPANY) is footing the bill. You probably haggle over tip when you are having a non business dinner in a restaurant. The poor 2 jobs holding waitress, with a sick kid and aspirations to rise up to the middle class probably has to flirt with you all night before you part with your miserly 18% tip and then grumble about it to your rich palls.
No more free rides on our backs. We’re going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways. Our money was your money. You spent it. When our money dries up, so does yours.
Asshole, you do realize that the average household income in this country is around 50k, right? Just be grateful that you are not sitting your ass in the jail and be happy with whatever money you are making. I know that, unfortunately, and because the congress is a bitch to the Wall Street, this will never happen. Bankstas will keep making their millions, no matter what happens to the rest of the humanity, but shut the fuck about you and your poor 85K per year job. Many people will jump at the opportunity to make that kind of money for lying their fat asses off. As far as doing manual work yourself instead of exploiting illegal immigrants like you have been doing, I have a better idea. Go ahead and sell tickets to people to watch you do 'landscaping' or 'wash your own car'. You can have sold out shows where Bankstas attempt to do these things while average joes get to watch and laugh at these inept fuckers. What next, you will raise your own kids? Ha ha ha ha.
The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and knock us off the top of the pyramid, but it’s really going to hurt like hell for them when our fat a**es land directly on the middle class of America and knock them to the bottom.
Let me be the first one to break it to you- middle class folks have nothing to fear from Bankstas. If you are a middle class person worried about some hotshot banksta taking your job, ask yourself these two questions- "Is lying one my job requirements?" "Does my job requires selling shit to others while telling them that it is gold?"... Hmmmm.. maybe if you are a used car salesman, your job is in danger of going to a banksta. Rest of you are quite safe.
We aren’t dinosaurs. We are smarter and more vicious than that, and we are going to survive. The question is, now that Obama & his administration are making Joe Mainstreet our food supply ... will he? and will they?
You sure are vicious. No one ever disputed that. To make a career in an environment like the Wall Street, you have to be vicious and kinda evil too. Smarter? Um I am not so sure about that. If you were smarter, you would not have pushed the whole world into great depression size financial meltdown. Wasn't bankers not understanding their own financial instruments one of the reasons for this whole mess? You are no more smarter than an average joe. You just got lucky for a long long time. It is my hope that your luck finally runs out.
