They see themselves as above the masses of people they have destroyed, and feel entitled to ever higher perks, bonuses and salaries.

Something is gotta give soon .... and these guys may have stepped over the line in underestimating the public anger.

They have it all, and yet they want and insist on getting more while many people are totally devastated by their conduct that has cost so many jobs and losses.

1. In the panic of 1873

members of the public walked into Wall St. banks, walked out with bankers, and promptly strung them up on lampposts.

I won't be terribly surprised if we see history repeat itself!

4. A guy I know who teaches martial arts has signed on to be a, "executive bodyguard"

he says that there's a big demand for such bodyguard, and since his dojo closed and he lost his security guard job he saw no other choice. So now he's willing to lay down his life for one of the people whose destroying it. How rich is that? The executives know that our fury is growing.

6. Pretty much that's what happens when an adminstration signals that there will be no accounrtability

The guy's at Peanut Corp are laughing, too- and hiding behind the corporate veil.

9. I thought the Wall Street banksters were horrific, but the BP mo fos are even worse!

I can almost hear those fuckers saying "Let them eat cake." :grr:

10. We've been at that point for years

But they can do that when they own both political parties -- lock, stock, and barrel.

Nothing will change until we get corporate money out of government -- nothing.
