Breaking: Bankers Are Still Jerk-Offs

Breaking: Bankers Are Still Jerk-Offs:

"Who do you think pays the taxes?" said one longtime money manager. "Financial services are one of the last things we do in this country and do it well. Let's embrace it. If you want to keep having jobs outsourced, keep attacking financial services. This is just disgruntled people."

He added that he was disappointed that members of Congress from New York, especially Senator Charles E. Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, had not come out swinging for an industry that donates heavily to their campaigns. "They need to understand who their constituency is," he said.

Yes, this guy is, as the kids say, "for real." Just to be clear, Schumer and Gillibrand's constituency is the 18 million people who live in New York State, like, all of them, not just the 200,000 employed by financial services. Also! Financial services are not really "one of the last things we do in this country" (we do a lot of things in this country! That is why we have the largest economy in the world!), and, uh, "do it well"? You guys almost single-handedly murdered the economy in 2008 and had to be rescued by the taxpayers.
