Dow Drops Over 300 Points: The Poor Don't Give a Flying Rats Ass


The Stock Market dropped over 300 points today, but the nation's poor basically went on about their business, collecting hand outs, rummaging through garbage, and panhandling in the few places which have not yet passed laws against the activity.

Of course, millions of middle class Amercians also know nothing of the stock market and do not possess what is known in to the upper classes as a "portfolio". Tom Striggles, who has been an indigent for over 20 years marveled recently when told that a portfolio contained important information about a person's general financial health and the various business and investment activities that the financially educated were involved in. "Jeez, a portfolio, eh? That's what I used to wipe my ass with."

Not to be discouraged, Amy Nussbaum, Chief Market Analyst for the Rag Box told Striggles not to worry. Everyone is wiping their asses with their portfolios right about now.
