You can be a banker in the economically relevant sense before tomorrow's market close

The economically relevant sense is where I am a partner in a Wall Street firm and get enormous bonuses while I tank my firms equity holdings. I cannot believe you are so dense as to not know what everyone is talking about.

You are focused on a moment, I am looking at the entire system and entire lifetimes. Some banker got fired yesterday, some other one will make money next week, it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. Why would I care? It is another man's livelihood, that is all. In the long run, though, I or anybody can choose to keep what I own sitting in bank deposits, or invest it in the institutions you are busy denouncing - and so can you, or anyone else. There is no reason whatever to buy a single line of class warfare rhetoric, when where you choose to stand in the matter is entirely up to you. If you think capitalist speculators have it easy, be one. If you don't run out and get in the game, then you know it isn't easy. The rest is consciously dishonest smearing and slander, and no conservative is going to buy a lick of it.
