Wall St. bankers need to start pulling their own weight in this economy.

The boss class wasn't different then. The 99% were more cohesive, more willing to fight, and stronger.

A person hired to scrub floors shouldn't make as much as a lawyer. That's just dumb. It's been like that since before there was an america
