47. What?? The Wizards of Wall St, The CEOs who are paid 300-400% more than their workers . . .

Didn't see this coming? I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Bullshit! They thought the sky was going to open and rain $$$ on Day One, that collaborating with He Who Would Be King would enrich them beyond their wildest imaginings. I think they still are hoping, absolutely expecting Agent Orange will turn on the spigots and deliver that big fat tax gift they've been drooling over, then deregulate the country so the thieving can go on forever.

But why not practice some CYA for the little people. Oh yeah, we're nervous, too.

Whaa-Whaa.

Cockroaches!
