This is great. There's complex financial machinations driving huge changes in multiple financial markets. People's lives are impacted in multiple ways; some lost money in their retirement plans' investments, others are having trouble paying their mortgages, thousands are losing their jobs in the financial industry, and the tax payers will have to pay for some of this fiasco. However, I'm reassured - we should all be reassured! - that both campaigns, congress, and the press are laser-focused on the root problem: rich people.
That's right, we're all shocked (SHOCKED!) to have discovered that there are people who run big companies that make a lot of money - here's a list of the nefarious capitalist pigs. Clearly, this is unacceptable. The American dream - on Main St., not Wall St. - is to toil 10-12 hours per day for a minimum wage (minus union dues). It certainly is NOT to be personally wealthy, or to lead a company that provides the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of employees.
