"It is shameful," Obama said from the Oval Office. "And part of what we're going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility."

Show responsibility? Oh yeah, they should be like all the lovable working-class Americans, who have shown such remarkable self-restraint and responsibility over the past few years. I mean, sure, all those peons are spending 26 times more than they earn, but they deserve that right? They deserve to retire when their 50 and live in a house twice as big as they can technically afford, with two giant cars that they can't afford sitting in their driveway. Because their the working class. Not the wealthy. The wealthy don't deserve anything. They're greedy. We should take all their money and give it to the doe-eyed, innocent working class folk who of course had NOTHING to do with this recession.

Give me a freaking break. Nearly everyone in this country, from Wall Street to the assembly lines, needs to show a little better sense of responsibility. Maybe we can fix it if we all admit that.
