Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus on OWS:
“Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus said. “Are you kidding me?”
Former New York gurbernatorial candidate Tom Golisano, the billionaire owner of the billing firm Paychex:
“If I hear a politician use the term ‘paying your fair share’ one more time, I’m going to vomit,” said Golisano, who turned 70 last month, celebrating the birthday with girlfriend Monica Seles, the former tennis star who won nine Grand Slam singles titles.
Leon Cooperman, the former chief of Goldman Sachs’s money-management unit:
Cooperman, 68, said in an interview that he can’t walk through the dining room of St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida, without being thanked for speaking up. At least four people expressed their gratitude on Dec. 5 while he was eating an egg-white omelet, he said.“You’ll get more out of me,” the billionaire said, “if you treat me with respect.”

At the root of every great fortune is an even greater crime. Why aren't these slime balls in prison?
They aren't in prison because they make the laws and they control most of what we read, see and hear.
Their dominance is complete. All we can do is talk about it online, and be ignored. They will never be defeated. Hordes of reality-show watching slack-jawed animals, yuppies and hipsters prop up their horrible system.
I feel so hopeless and I pray that I am just a pessimist and things will change one day.
@Anonymous: Good question!! The only answer I can think of is that he's bought and paid for enough politicians that he thinks he can get away with anything. The sad part is that he prolly can. Sigh.
Which one do you work for?
