An anonymous email’s been making the rounds on Wall Street from some loser who thinks he’s a shark. It’s a nasty piece of work that reveals the mentality of the people that have been running our economy for some time, thanks to deregulation and political influence peddling. We caught a glimpse of that mentality in Goldman Sachs’ testimony last week. But even though they seemed pretty odious to the public, the Goldman Sachs boys actually had their “play nice” faces on.
This email takes off the mask. It reveals the psychology of Wall Street in its rawest form. If it didn’t it wouldn’t have gone viral so quickly, being passed all around the Street by brokers satisfied that someone is finally telling “Joe Mainstreet” what superior human beings – what ubermenschen – brokers really are.
We’ve responded, below, and we’re offering a challenge to the author: We’ll debate you anytime.
Why go after this loser? Because he’s the real face of Lloyd Blankfein. He’s Robert Rubin’s Id. He’s Jamie Dimon’s Picture of Dorian Gray. He’s Alan Greenspan, too. He’s the inner monologue, the true voice of everyone who offers supposedly “rational” arguments for the perpetuation of a runaway Wall Street kleptocracy. Oh, Mr. Wall Street? Show yourself. If you think you’re right, have the guts to come out in the open and fight.
