    So what… they will end up dead just like everyone else and may only be remembered as greedy rich people.

    I suppose when one’s office desk is bigger than my bathroom, it’s difficult for the lower party to get closer without greater effort. When that’s achieved, the Man looks for a bigger desk.

    We make money the old fashioned way. We steal it.

    “The best way to rob a bank is to own one!” Look for it!

    The easiest way to steal money from a bank is to borrow it and not pay it back.

    And what if he didn’t agree? Wonder if he had to pay for the uniform.

    Reminds me of the Rock Hudson-Tony Randall movie where RH was the employee and TR was the totally inept Boss; always cotowing to RH.

    When middle management becomes a bartender for the Big Boss, what happens to the little guys? I guess they just clean his restroom. (Two jobs that can’t be outsources or off-shored: bartender and janitor…)

    Hello Alexikakos and other commentators,

    Alexokakos, you knocked me out with your classy packaging of two versions of Richard Cory. Bless the programmers who first designed HyperCard and the folks later who refined it so we could pull the disparate together so effectively with Cut & Paste.

    The only thing that I might add to a discussion is I view it as insufficiently bloodthirsty.

    Richard Cory is the last image we have of a rich guy whose loss we might mourn. He appeared perfect and apparently had everything but was a troubled soul without another who might even imagine he needed comfort.

    Our present image of Richard should be a 1%er who is busy financing shills into elective office and paying lobbyists outside Congress to subvert or block legislation that needs to be passed.

    Today’s Richard has turned what was once called inheritance tax into a “death tax” and convinced folks whose thinking is often sound to believe allowing the super rich to become and economic aristocracy is some how a democratic ideal. Tax law now finances this aristocracy who have clearly amassed way too much and who is constantly looking for ways to pay less for institutions, infrastructure and services that improve the quality of life for all.

    I would not mourn the loss of this modern day Richard Cory. Not one bit.
