Dear Idiot Who Wrote "We Are Wall Street",

There are a lot of honest, hardworking people on wall street who aren't self-absorbed enough to believe we are going to knock people with 20 years of experience out of their jobs right away. And those of us who paid attention in history class quietly worry about a repeat of 1848. We don't need morons like you escalating things.

You claim you could land an $85K/year job. In reality, you would have trouble landing a job at a 7-11. You'd fail the psychological screening as a delusional sociopath. And by misrepresenting Wall Street to the rest of the world, you make the situation worse.

We don't stand with the 99%, but we don't stand with you either. We work and produce for a living and stand with the 53%. We're the folks trying to keep the system running despite what a small handful of self-centered idiots like you screwed up back in 2008. You need to sit down, shut up, and let cooler heads prevail.

Sincerely,

The Rest of Wall Street

PS: There's NO WAY any sane father would let you be his kids' third grade teacher.

 

We don't need folks stirring up more trouble. The west gets a wave of revolutions about once every 70 years, so we're about due. The guy's note reads like that of a sociopath's and doesn't represent the people I know and work with very well.

My message to OWS: It's getting cold outside. A nice indoor job paying $10/hour sounds pretty good right now. I spent a while working minimum wage jobs and know it's tough, but it's the best way forward.

If you want to lobby for something that will hurt wall street, lobby for no second bailout.

I thought it was 80?

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
