What do you have against Wall Street?

But, who loves doing financial homework?  Nobody really. 

*raises hand*

Though I agree with everything else you wrote, perhaps worst of all is the arrogance and the fact that the immorality extends into all parts of their life. Their role is obviously important, but it's hard not to despise all that.

People may be legitimately interested in finance, but it strains credulity to imagine that they would be equally interested if it paid as much as being a supermarket cashier.

I highly doubt those people are passionate about their line of work at any paygrade so this is a terrible comparison.

I'm not directly comparing the professions. Only the level of pay. It's laughable to think people would be as passionate about finance if finance paid very little.

I'd still have the passion, but I'd be just as inclined to work in one of my other passions like floral design. Reverse which one is my line of work and which I do for fun. That's called being sensible.

I don't really despise Wall Street, they are just exercising their rights as free people. However, I wish the government would use their interstate Commerce powers to make sure they aren't screwing us over.

About this, so no.

I never saw this comment. What do you mean?

I think he's just agreeing with you, and he answered the poll "No".

Playing reckless games with people's livelyhoods which nearly brought down the world economy?

So send the few who had control over that to jail and don't implement a bunch of red tape that negatively affects every business out there.

Hmm, that sounds like the opposite of what I would do considering that 'red tape' on Wall Street doesn't really negatively affect very many businesses and whatever few i-banking jobs are lost (they'd be lost in the cycles anyway) would simply be replaced with an incredible number of  regulatory jobs at the banks so they do what they are intended to do. The economy is more stable and thus businesses are positively affected.

No sense in sending people to jail and destroying more lives in response to this. Are we seriously going to turn into Italy, jailing scientists and the lot next? You have to have a guilty mind, and there is no sense in trying to prove that while convicting innocent ones.
