We are Wall Street. It's our job to make money. ...I didn't hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone's 401K doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until you lose. Go ahead... and continue to take us down, but you're only going to hurt yourselves. What's going to happen when we can't find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We're going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work til 10pm or later. We're used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don't take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don't demand a union. We don't retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we'll eat that. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We're 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. I'll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much. No more free rides on our backs. we're 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.
I'd like to see the greedy bastards do my job then.They gambled away our money and they think that they were the only ones working hard. Fuck em. Bring it on
Didn't someone post this a while back. It is nothing like gambling as most of these fuckers are not using there own money. So for me it is like gambling using other peoples money & not going to the bog.
what money have YOU lost? If you have a mortgage, its been the on the best % for decaes because of the base rate, true or false? We reaped the great years and we took advantage of the money for nothing years as much as anyone, look at how the housing market grew and grew on the back of people getting loans left right and centre. I drank as much as anyone at the money party and now we all have a hangover. Stop crying about it.... we obviously have plenty of jobs cos we keep letting people into the country. If there were not enought jobs we wouldnt do this would weeeeee
well my mother, who lives on her savings has lost lots. That's one. She was never in debt to anyone all her life, no maxed out credit cards nothing but a mortgage she paid off when interest rates were 10% or more. Anyone who saved for a rainy day and didn't borrow has had their money gambled away by cunts like the bloke who wrote that piece.
The bankers are just slaves to a system like the rest of us forks. Problem is that the system of ours rewards short term gain over long term thinking. It's the financial equivalent of planting Leylandii and Oaks, then chopping the oaks down after a year because they haven't grown quickly enough compared to the other trees. This system encourages these people to take bigger and bigger risks in order to meet their year end target. If they succeed, they get a big fat bonus, we get an increase on our pension returns or savings, their employer makes profit, and everyone is happy. If they fail, we see our savings wiped out, the company makes a loss and they get to walk away. At the worst they lose their jobs, which still isn't the same stakes as the rest of us. It wouldn't take much adjusting to give capitalism more of a long term view, and to give the city a personal stake in what it invests our money in, but then again, Turkeys don't vote for Christmas. Pike is right to a point - I'm benefiting from extremely low interest rates right now as we took our mortgage out just before the start of the recession, the fixed interest period came to an end a year ago, and ever since then our rate has been tracking 1.5% above the BoE base rate, saving us £200 a month. On the flip side of this, a friend of the family who set up his own business, made millions, was bought out by his partner and retired at the age of 40, has seen a large percentage of his earnings/savings wiped out by the same recession.
s How exactly. You dont "lose" savings. You lose interest on those savings. If your STUPID enought to think you can live on money given to you BY THE GOVERNMENT for the simple value of your money, dont be suprised if they reduce it. Why did you mother think she could earn a living doing fuck all and just cream a % on savings. This is a blatent point prover that people are stupid with money then cry about it. NEXT
hahahaha another twat. You cant retire at 40 and simpley think you are some clever fucker who made a buck.
This is the main fact loads of people are in fact BETTER OFF, no matter how much food and fuel gos up its not going to come to more than £200 so Conway is winning UNTIL this put interest rates up.
she worked hard all her life. And you couldn't sell her nothing cos she's brighter even now than you'll ever be in your life little man.
