Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone

Wall Street Cheats

Matt Taibbi is one of our favorite social commentators and he nails conservative shills to the wall with his analysis of Wall Street and conservative pundit claims of "class warfare".

After the National Review's shill Will Cain argued on CNN that Occupy Wall Street consists of nothing more than a rag-tag group of losers who were jealous of other people's money Matt Taibi had this to say:

[Taibbi] When you take into consideration all the theft and fraud and market manipulation and other evil shit Wall Street bankers have been guilty of in the last ten-fifteen years, you have to have balls like church bells to trot out a propaganda line that says the protesters are just jealous of their hard-earned money.

[Taibbi] Think about it: there have always been rich and poor people in America, so if this is about jealousy, why the protests now?

The rest of his article is spot on and we highly suggest you give it fifteen minutes of your time.
