The Daily Show Tackles Wall Street Pay, Proposes "Angry Mob" Credit Card (VIDEO)

Last night, The Daily Show's John Hodgman took on Wall Street pay in his "You're Welcome" segment. Though, Hodgman predicted that "no meaningful changes whatsoever," will come to Wall Street, he did point out that the financial sector has an PR problem on its hands.

Hodgman's suggestions to improve Wall Street's image include: renaming CEOs "TLCEOs" (Tremendously Lucrative Chief Executive Officers), and executive wardrobe changes (like plaid hunting gear and sports jerseys) to make them more appealing to, "a simple commoner."

Then, there's a hilarious suggestion that captains of industry should become actual sea captains, and, of course, a new "Angry Mob" credit card.

Good -since we use most of the same facial muscles for HaHa and Horror, Hodgman is getting us closer to finally feeling the pain. Tragicomedy back for good, and good for you?

It's incredibly frustrating that everyone knows it's a game, one that we the people are losing, yet we can't stop it, or even slow it down. I feel like a passenger on a train with no brakes and the conductors are telling everyone to calm down, as soon as we get past the next curve we'll be fine....

REAL unemployment is DOUBLE the 'official' statistics. Government has been playing major games with all stats for a while now - both parties are to blame.
