Greed is Good?? /Whack a Boss Doll

“Greed is Good” This famous saying from the movie Wall Street where Michael Douglas plays a greedy stock holder. The movie is fiction but if the movie is so untrue why is this still how people on Wall Street fill and act 20 years after the movie was made? Just in February of this year it was found out that the stock holders on Wall Street were giving themselves $13billion bonus. The excuse was that they did all this hard word they deserve the bonus. How is it possible that this people deserve such a great deal of money when we are in such hard economic times? Billions of Americans go to work each day working hard if not harder than the people on Wall Street. Where is their bonus? Or the millions on homeless youth who deserve to go to school and then deserve to be able to go to a home. There are so many Americans losing their homes and jobs and the government says they are doing their best to get the economy back up and running. If the government really wants to get the economy back up they need to look at the people who are taking the money from the economy and the American people who need it. That $13billion put in the right hands could stimulate the economy maybe even create jobs and homes for the people who need them the most. As well as give raise to the under paid people who companies can’t afford to pay them anymore. Greed is good???? Says who??? The rich, who is getting richer while the poor is getting poorer, middle class is the majority of America, and that is slowly declining in to the poor class. If America stays at this pace there will only be two classes the rich and the poor so in my eyes no “Greed is not Good.”

If I could make a whack a doll toy I would make a whack a boss doll. It would be made for the employees who can’t stand their boss. The doll would be on every employee’s desk when your boss gives impossible deadlines whack the doll. When the boss is just an ass to you for no reasons whack the doll you can whack the doll all day. The doll would be custom made to look just like the owners boss. All the employee would have to do is send in a picture and the money and they would receive a customized boss in a little devil suit with a hammer to beat the boss all day. What a stress reliever it would be at work the employee could whack the boss all day.
