This is the man saying you little people need to suck it up and accept austerity

2. Excerpt from "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens

Chapter One:

"It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of France and Norway, there were growing trees...already marked by the Woodman, Fate, to come down and be sawn into boards, to make a certain movable framework with a sack and a knife in it, terrible in history. It is likely enough that in the rough outhouses of some tillers of the heavy lands adjacent to Paris, there were sheltered from the weather that very day, rude carts, bespattered with rustic mire, snuffed about by pigs, and roosted in by poultry, which the Farmer, Death, had already set apart to be his tumbrils of the Revolution.

But that Woodman and that Farmer, though they work unceasingly, work silently, and no one heard them as they went about with muffled tread: the rather, forasmuch as to entertain any suspicion that they were awake, was to be atheistical and traitorous."

I believe that the same Woodman and Farmer are currently at work, and that, though we Democrats and Progressives make every effort to save morons like this Blankfein from the consequences of their own actions, our exertions will be in vain. Those who insist on having everything sooner or later end up with nothing.

We "little people" are long accustomed to austerity and will do just fine.
