Bankers and billionaires are holding a pity party for the One Percent, sharing their oh-so-hurt feelings, and defending themselves from the "imbecile" attacks of the Occupy movement.
If successful businesspeople don’t go public to share their stories and talk about their troubles, “they deserve what they’re going to get,” said [billionaire Home Depot Inc. (HD) co-founder Bernard] Marcus, 82, a founding member of Job Creators Alliance, a Dallas-based nonprofit that develops talking points and op-ed pieces aimed at “shaping the national agenda,” according to the group’s website. He said he isn’t worried that speaking out might make him a target of protesters.
“Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus said. “Are you kidding me?”
[...] “If I hear a politician use the term ‘paying your fair share’ one more time, I’m going to vomit,” said [billionaire founder of payroll processer Paychex Inc., Tom] Golisano, who turned 70 last month, celebrating the birthday with girlfriend Monica Seles, the former tennis star who won nine Grand Slam singles titles.
You know what makes me want to vomit? The idea of Monica Seles having sex with that cranky, 70-year-old asshole.
In an article originally headlined "Bankers Join Billionaires to Debunk ‘Imbecile’ Attack on Top 1%" before some editor at billionaire-owned Bloomberg News thought better of it, some of our nation's wealthiest and most powerful men show a combination of cluelessness and utter contempt that... well... that really doesn't come as much of a surprise these days coming from some of our nation's wealthiest and most powerful men.
“It still feels lonely," complains John A. Allison IV, a director of BB&T Corp. (BBT), the ninth-largest U.S. bank.
Oh, weally...? Honestly... fuck you.
