Woot! That is awesome! I wish I was that clever.

But he's right. Something like 40% of MIT's *engineering* graduates went to work on wall street. It's not quite the "good ol' boy" society people want to think it is.

I'd pick this apart piece by piece, but it's easier to tell you what a dumb cunt you are.


"America wasn't complaining when their 401ks were going up"?

That's because it wasn't actually going up, it was a mess of finance that was all a lie so Wall Street could take investors money, pocket it, then piss on their faces.

Mine went up! I sold off high. Bought back low. It's like bitcoin speculating. Except with money.

Ironically, the market is setting new records since the protesters got to work. Maybe wall street should pay them to stay!

Truly, a market with the volatility of Bitcoin would make everyone a winner, and no one a loser.

This isn't even a letter to OWS protestors. It's some email that was being passed around a year and a half ago. I remember it being dumb as hell then and it still is now:

I agree with you, a year and a half ago this would have sounded dumb. But now juxtaposed against the OWS obscure manifestos, it is positively hilarious.

Why are you so full of anger and hate?

It sounds like righteous anger to me. It's God that hates the greedy Wall St moneychangers.

Wow!  You guys speak for God now?  

To me it sounds like someone with a lot of hate for his fellow man.  Someone who believes that life is a 'struggle' or a class 'war' and who is missing out on what an amazing place and time we live in.  Socialism gnaws at the soul.  And this is the kind of discourse it produces:

Who said anything about socialism? That's a strawman.

This is great because it embodies the victimhood complex that libertarians have.

We are victims. We aren't entitled to ourselves and our labor in full capacity. We are aggressed against.
