Wall Street Shuffle

Friends and readers. Where did it all go wrong? How on earth was this allowed to happen? Who took their eye off the ball? Did Joe ordinary ever have any kind of a handle on a situation that was kept behind the closed and hallowed doors by the great and the good of the financial world.

Currency speculators, mortgage debt buyers who helped plunged the world into this economic disaster alongside their friends who bought and sold peoples lives hopes and dreams on the floor of the Stock Exchange, all this based on the common principle of greed and dam the concequences.

The previous Bush administration in America which was riddled with corruption and incompetence together with their complete lack of principles towards their own people contrived to bring the world headlong into disaster.

It didn’t matter that millions could end up on skid row with holes in their pockets shouting Buddy can you spare a dime, no indeed dear friends not as long as the financial wheeling dealing on Wall Street long since elevated to near saint hood was left unregulated and free to ruin as many lives as possible, ordinary lives of ordinary people whose main aim in life was to try and provide a decent standard of living for themselves and their families.

These very same Joe ordinaries who provide the means by which all this wheeling dealing can go on are always in the front line and are always the first casualties. No pity nor solace is given as they are thrown on to the scrape heap and held directly responsible for the greed and mismanagement of a few individuals who prostituted themselves at the altar of capitalism and then ran away leaving others to pay the tab.

Families, across  the world are in the grip of and suffering from this worshiping of greed is good and lunch is for wimps mentality. The Gordon Geko’s of this world are boils that need to be lanced and then disinfected with law and regulation preventing their utter contempt for honour or principle something that in their eyes is tantamount to swearing.

This dear friends requires back bone from politicians something of which is in very short supply, and historically always has been. Our Government has shown the way by discarding what little backbone they had and allowed our banks and yes believe it or not we the people do own them, to pay themselves once more the sheer obsenity of bonuses which more than leaves a bad taste in the mouths of decent ordinary people who find themselves very close to if not already on the breadline.

This situation is so incredible it’s hard to contemplate such utter hypocracy and a direct kick in the teeth to the very people whose money was used to get these banks out of the mess that they themselves created. The trickle down effect to the most basic of public sevices will become clearer as the year goes on. Cuts here there and everywhere and once again Joe punter will bear the brunt as they consistently do.

We the people have watched powerless as our rulers and their pals have hung drawn and quartered us and scattered the pieces to the four winds. We the people have been cast adrift in rough seas with no food or water and then told land may be sighted sometime so don’t worry as when we send the doves out to retrive the first shoots of recovery all will be well and land once more will surface.

We the people must declare that we the victims  and the sufferers of the pain inflicted by the few demand the rights that we are told we have but cannot exercise. We the people have a right to be heard in the hallowed and sacred corridors of that most select and private of clubs where by birth you were given the right to rule by force if necessary but by school tie if unchallenged, and we the people demand to be heard in those financial warrens where our lives are bought and sold for less than 40 pieces of silver.
