A little history story on the thinking behind the guys in charge on Wall St...

Young Chuck moved to Montana and bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died"
Chuck replied, "Well, then just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that.  I went and spent it already."
Chuck said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse."             
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!"
Chuck said, "Sure I can.  Watch me.  I just won't tell anybody he's dead"             
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"             
Chuck said, "I raffled him off.  I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998."             
The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"         
Chuck said, "Just the guy who won.  So I gave him his two dollars back."             
Chuck grew up, moved east, and got a job working for Fannie Mae

Not awesome.  It would be somewhat awesome if we weren't bailing those assholes out with more of our money - that's money on top of our money that they allready pirated into their executive compensation bonuses.

On the day you were judged by the funhouse cast
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace
