Goldman Exec:the general public should “tolerate the inequality"

[BenjaminTheDonkey]

That's why it will soon be our hobby
To hit them with sticks thick and knobby
T'will be such a laugh
To atone for their gaffe
Quick, go ask Broil to loan us his staff!

They love high times in Abu Dhabi
With people like Ahmed Chalabi.
So what makes it stop?
You go call a cop?
(In England they say, “Call a bobby.")

The only law this fine group knows
Is the dollar they stick up their nose
To help with inhalin'
More resources (they're failin')
And adding to all the world's woes


Yeah! Poetry slam!

A warning before going sobby,
Past this point things start to go wobbly.
This rhyme’s now exhausted,
The cake’s nicely frosted,
That’s it! Back to: “WE, Kemo Sabe?”

Thank god for your wise "Let's give in"
I was going to cry "Uncle, you win!"
Matching rhymes with you, Donkey
Has left me quite wonky,
And wearing a big happy grin.




Yay! Thanks a lot, man, that was fun. My brain is fried. Off to read TMZ.

Now now everyone, it's the wealthiest Americans who pay the most tax, OK?* So it's not like they're keeping it all for themselves. They are the ones keeping this country afloat, and if we start regulating them or even questioning the legitimacy of what they do we are going to end up cutting off a valuable stream of revenue for Swiss banks and choking the life out of our great country. I fought a war** so that the top 1% in this country could control 38% of the wealth***, so don't go getting all communist-y on me, here.

Plus, equality? Why should we have equality? Those wealthy people worked hard for their taxpayer-funded bonuses. And hey, it's not easy taking pensions generated by middle-class folks and using them to gamble with. Sure, there's no handle to pull like in a real casino, but still. It's really tiring.

Also, if these poor people are so angry, why don't they just get off their lazy asses and succeed? Like the Goldman Sachs execs did? This is America, after all. If you work hard, go to school, keep your nose clean, and just TRY, one day you could be the head of Goldman Sachs or maybe the guy who runs the Treasury****. You lower- and middle-class people need to stop grousing about losing your job and your house (hey, no one told you to get a job and a house! It was your choice, man.) and get out there and do some real work for god's sake. Because it was work, like moving numbers from one Excel spreadsheet to another, that made this country what it is today.*****


*Except for the ones that have those Swiss bank accounts we've heard so much about recently. And the ones who can afford tax lawyers and accountants to help them find loopholes so they don't actually end up paying quite so much. And the ones who put their money into illegal tax shelters like offshore companies.

**OK, well, I didn't actually fight a war. YOU did. But it's LIKE I did. Sort of.

****What? You say they're the same guy? Oh, well then I guess both those positions are filled. I hear Wal-Mart needs a greeter, though.

*****Completely bankrupt.

Great rant. Could'nt have said it better myself.

After sleeping on this overnight, I am now of the belief that the only way this arrogance can be solved will be when someone takes down the GS headquarters in NY. These bankster are terrorists, really no different than 9/11. They are actually probably much more dangerous to the rest of us.

Yeah, but at least they're not Muslims!
