Duped By "Due Diligence" (Wall Street's and Geithner's) Do traders design, build or sell something tangible? Under what rubric do they earn their keep? They gamble and speculate with shareholder money At temples of finance where they're fleecing the sheep Most Wall Street temples are merely casinos Designed to expropriate their customers' wealth. They're peddling mysterious investment products That lack a due diligence clean bill of health? If their dice were loaded, would you want to shoot craps? If their cards were marked would you play twenty-one? Yet some let their pension funds gamble with Goldman While Geithner plays footsie with each smoking gun. When Geithner retires (is fired or deposed), To which bank casino will he gravitate? Whichever it is, Morgan Stanley or Goldman, Should be the next gambling den we exterminate. We're paying Timmy to be our country's treasurer. Yet who's not convinced he's in Wall Street's employ? Tim's still too chummy with our Wall Street enemies – Their machinations are Tim's greatest joy.
