Let’s see, during the financial meltdown, a bunch of watch dogs at the SEC were spending more than half of their work days surfing porn on the InterNet, (probably causing them to miss a thing or two), another gaggle of investment brokers at Goldman Sachs were texting or emailing each other about the “suckers” that were buying their phony baloney derivatives, (and losing their life savings), while they amassed multi-million dollar bonuses, banks were writing home loans that they knew would default and then insured themselves against that inevitability, and credit card companies continued to issue plastic time bombs with pages and pages of microscopic rules…who needs reform?

When it comes to money, there will always be a few who have most of it, most who have very little of it and some who have just enough to think they may some day be one of the few.  This feudal reality, no matter what it’s called from country to country, will never be regulated by patrician underlings.  Only the humanitarian awakening of the Lords of the Kingdoms, (ala Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet), prompting a sincere effort to make the world better for all, will bring about real, beneficial change.  Rather than waste any more time bickering over meaningless legislation, how about we start a worldwide texting-tweeting-emailing campaign, something like:

dear super rich dudes, (the few),

could you please educate us and keep us healthy so that we can all work for one of the companies you own?  you only have to pay us enough to have a decent life with a cool LED flat screen on at least one wall of our modest three bedroom, four bath home and a couple of fuel efficient cars…oh, and a few weeks vacation time, snacks and a comfortable retirement at an age when we can still enjoy it.  this will not cost you all that much since you’ll be making all of the profit for the work we do, and we promise not to try one of those fruitless pitchfork takeover deals

humbly,

most and some

Lest anyone think that this will in any way limit personal freedom, let me remind you that “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”.
