Some rich people get together occasionally to eat overpriced food, make tasteless jokes, and impose humiliating initiation rituals on their slightly less wealthy aspirational juniors? That's pretty tame, as bacchanals go. If I'm to treat Wall Street like Thulsa Doom, I expect human bones in the soup and at least one giant snake.
Was it Buffy where the rich people society fed sacrifices to a snake demon for luck? That was a great episode.
My main issue is with the Bailout King part I suppose, although the other problems annoy me also. That's indicative of their beliefs about the poor and the government. Sort of like what Romney did in that 49% speech that was leaked.
Its clear they didn't think it was tame, hence the violent threats and later attempted bribery to keep it quiet. Its not like they feared retaliation from above for a PR gaffe, since its all top level people. So they must have a reason for being so upset.
