They aren't getting rich off of me. Why are they getting rich off of you?

Tracy, please explain to me how you believe wealth in Wall Street to be generated.

Certainly not from my pocket book lol. Ok, they're getting rich off the work of several people, as well as off their own work. But I can't think of any CEOs getting rich off of my work. At least not any that aren't putting in a hell of a lot of work themselves. What I should have said was how are they impoverishing you, because they aren't impoverishing me.

This is a start but it does not address my request.

When a Wall Street investment bank is bailed out, lent money by the Fed at 0% interest ostensibly to reinvest in the economy, and then does nothing productive -- and yet gives its CEO and others million-dollar-plus bonuses at the end of the year -- do you think that CEO might be getting rich off YOU ... even just a little bit?

If you are referring to Huey Long, that man was almost as corrupt & criminal ad Daly in Chicago.

And like the House and Senate we have today isn't?
Both parties are corrupt so in the end you have to pick do we want Robin Hood or Jesse James?
I'd perfer Robin Hood

Those assholes need prison time instead of bonuses...

Yes, true. Although I have never supported bank bailouts, and have spoken out against them in other threads.
