8/9/2019 Wall Street to Main Street: DROP DEAD
1/2
This anonymous e-mail has been circulating around Wall
Street
companies and news publications since 29 April 2010.
We are Wall Street. Its our job to make money. Whether its a
commodity, stock,
bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesnt
matter. We would trade
baseball cards if it were profitable. I didnt hear America
complaining when themarket was roaring to 14,000 and everyones 401k
doubled every 3 years. Just like
gambling, its not a problem until you lose. Ive never heard of
anyone going to
Gamblers Anonymous because they won too much in Vegas.
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.
Go ahead and continue to take us down, but youre only going to
hurt yourselves.
Whats going to happen when we cant find jobs on the Street
anymore? Guess what:Were going to take yours. We get up at 5am
& work till 10pm or later. Were used to
not getting up to pee when we have a position. We dont take an
hour or more for a
lunch break. We dont demand a union. We dont retire at 50 with a
pension. We eat
what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your
dinner plates, well eat that.
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? Were 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. Ill be
hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra
a summer, thank youvery much.
So now that were going to be making $85k a year without upside,
Joe Mainstreet is
going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: were going
to stop buying the
new 80k car, we arent going to leave the 35 percent tip at our
business dinners
anymore. No more free rides on our backs. Were 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.
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 thepyramid, but its 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.
We arent 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 supplywill he? and will they?
