Poetic justice on Wall Street...just not enough.


Oh if only this would happen to the vast majority of
slime on Wall Street.
Mr. Araya, 38 years old, lost his job in
2007 as a crude oil trader on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. After visiting
dozens of headhunters with no luck, he
applied in August 2008 to be a host at
the Palm to support his wife, two young
daughters and mortgage payments. His
salary has plunged from $200,000 to
$25,000.
If life were fair and just, all the clowns from BoA, AIG, CITI
and the rest would be living the same kind of live.

Oh where are the rice patties when you need them.

You are really sick and twisted

I saw this on yahoo news. Pitiful isn't it? Millions of people who worked their assess of daily for much less than their labor was worth are of little consequence to the WSJ, but one guy who was pulling down $200K annually and saved nothing from his vastly overpaid prior job is supposed to the be the object of our sympathy. I agree with you that it's a pity that everyone on Wall Street isn't in the same spot. Instead, the crooks are still running the show as evidenced by how Obama put them (of all people) in charge of the GM restructuring!
