The Great Recession: Goldman Sachs Gets Armed !

It’s almost humorous (if there can be any humor in this economic disaster).

It has been reported (article) that senior executives at the investment banking firm, Goldman Sachs, have been buying firearms, and applying for concealed weapons permits, in advance of receiving their 2009 year-end bonuses. Apparently, some of them have begun to get a little uneasy about the public reaction to their multi-million dollar bonuses, and the possibility of a "populist uprising" against them (an open hunting season on Wall Street?).

These "Masters of the Universe" still don’t understand why the American people hate them so much (I guess when you take home tens of millions of dollars each year for simply playing with other people’s money, it’s hard to relate to the person who was just getting by to begin with, and now has had his or her livelihood completely taken away). But even if they don’t understand the "why", at least they’re beginning to comprehend that middle-class America is mad as hell, and isn’t going to put up with their bullshit anymore.
