The title says it all. Neither Washington nor Wallstreet lives in the real world, and yet they both control the real world. I bet 90% of American’s would love to tell both Washington and Wallstreet to take a long walk off a short peer. However, one controls all the legal and political power, and the other controls all the money. So while every one would love to tell these self-righteous egotistical pricks to go shove it cause we don’t need them, the system has weirdly been built around them.
We want poloiticians who do there job!!!! Come to think of it, we want Wallstreet bankers that do their jobs too. What kind of **bleep** asks a business-partner you have bankrupted through your crooked deeds for a loan, only to turn around and buy a new fancy car? Even smaller metaphore. Your buddy talks you into this amazing investment he’s heard about (Which he heard about, cause he’s in charge of the investment program). You figure you can trust him, after all who is that greedy or crooked. Therefore you invest say around $1,000, which he proptly loses through his ineptness in investing (If not for shadier reasons).
He cries bloody murder and gives you the saddest story ever. He goes on about how broke he is, and how he will have nothing because of these investments. In the midst of his whinning and losing your cash, he has the nerve to ask you to barrow another $1,000. You feel sorry for him, and figure once he is back on top… He’ll remember who helped him get there, and he’ll spread the wealth around. A month goes by and now you’re broke, so you call your buddy up, and ask hey do you have that $1,000? His response, is sorry bro I’m leaving for Hawii cause times are good…. I’ll pay you back when I can. You’d be **bleep**. Hell you’d be **bleep** if you lent a buddy $100, and then you find out he bought sports tickets before he paid you back. He has money for sports tickets, but not to pay you back? That is B.S.
This is what Wallstreet did to us all. What do they even do any more? The original legal purpose of securities and securities markets is so business people with a good idea, hard work, but not a lot of cash could get their hands on some capital to grow or start. I doubt that’s what happens now. In fact I know that’s not what happens, and people probably won’t be so mad if the Paper Security Robber Baron’s weren’t paying themselves so well. Especially after government bail outs. Mean while, they say the Market is up, but job are at an all time low. Which means one thing, Wallstreet and main-street are literally no longer connected. It defies the Capitalistic model, or the very theory we have been sold or told to be true. The market goes up, so to should the jobs… But that is not so, is it?
This is why I say they are in a bubble. They are detached, and reality isn’t real to them. They use computer models, programs, algarythims, and crazy formulas to figure out the next trends in the market. It used to be you found a company with good financial stability, size, workforce, management, or the latest product that drove the market. However, it is literally a mathematical video game with America’s money. Don’t believe me? Sign up for any stock trading account. They have all these electronic computer programs, which come built in to help you play the game.
Where are the Lawyers? Subpeanas and inditements need to be rolling down Wall-Street, not bonuses. Washington is the same. The average politician is so out of touch with the common man, the system is broken. Big money lobbiests by their favorite politicians. We need major reform. You know their is a little know document and body of law which states that when things get too bad (And they are), they American people reserve the right to tear it all down, and rebuild it again. It’s called the US Constitution, which says the government works for the people, not corporate companies. Politicians need to stop fighting! They are like children with this bickering, and refusal to work together. Always looking for some issue to run on. How about you run on being normal and doing your job! Vote for me, I’m the guy that did his job and represented my constituents and not the highest priced/paying interest group! We are a Republic, and when our politicians stop representing us…. That is the real reason for the 2nd Amendment.
That is a historical and literal fact. Our right to bare arms is to ensure that the People can always over-through the Government, if it gets too corrupt. We may be getting there! As a Juris Doctorate, I prefer more legal channels. However, Washington and Wall-Street need to come off those clouds, get it together, help America and American’s first…. Or American’s will eventually help themselves, by using the Second!
