We are Wall Street. It's our job to make money. Whether it's a
commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it
doesn't matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable.

...or crystal meth or smuggled arms or...

The complaint isn't that you make money, it's that you don't do it
honestly.

FWIW, I wish OWS could focus on the crooks; and I gladly join them in the
idea that something (more) should be done about them.

Crooks like Fannie/Freddie, Frank & Dodd, the Fed, ACORN, Harold Raines,
Phil Angelides, Cuomo's HUD, Dodd's and Angelo Mozilo's Countrywide
Financial...?

Them?

That's a good starter list, sure. :)

Point being, a lot of the loud voices at OWS seem to confuse "got ahead in life" with "is abusing their position of power, defrauding the public and stealing."

Someone needs to draw them a venn diagram or something.

(Ooo, *I* know how to use Photoshop! :)

There. Feel free to share. :)
