Those poor millionaires who destroyed our economy and why we should feel sorry for them

Megan Woolhouse interviews therapists "wealth councilors" and "life coaches" treating those poor formerly filthy rich, now moderately rich, slime who caused worldwide financial collapse. Share in their pain as they must cope with the burden of no longer being able to decide whether they vacation in the Caribbean or Switzerland, suffer identity crisis as they realize they're not John "I drive a 760iL" Smith, the guilt of screwing over millions if not billions of people, and the nervousness of suddenly being among the least popular people on the planet. What terrible, terrible woes compared to people worrying about paying for their kid's education, their retirement, health care, heating bills, rent, or even just being able to put food on the table. Compare and contrast.

Sounds like "Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon" versus "Brother Can You Spare a Dime" or "Poverty Blues".

Perhaps these guys should go have a chat with famous wealth manager Shirl Penney if they need some basic perspective? I somehow bet that he ain't crying too loudly about the recent downsizing and offshoring of some of his income.

Hahaha, Brilliant.
