while wealthy mofos sock it all away, sometimes in Swiss bank accounts or in the Caymans. They can save their lectures.

money you don't have on shit you don't need so the people who could care Less while they ship jobs And Money overseas, can usurp more wealth from us only to blame us when things go wrong? No thanks.

It seems I recall a lot of people spending a lot of money they didn't have on houses they couldn't afford because guys told them not to worry about it and spend anyway.

It's the same people who blame us for getting fat, while making gobs of money filling the grocery stores with trash!

have any money, rich people tell them that they should have exercised personal responsibility and saved. We've got to get off this merry-go-round.

Let's see; Citi are behind the leaked 2006 "Plutonomy Symposium: Rising Tides Lifting Yachts" internal memo (public thanks to Michael Moore) which very frankly discusses the rich getting ever richer and that America "apparently tolerates" such massive income inequality as to make the US a Plutonomy state (along with Canada and the UK). Motherfuckers.
