Page 13 - Duff McKagan Case Study

1) To educate

2) To bring down The Man

As for the first point, when I stated before that I found myself at 30 not

really knowing which way was up as far as financial terminology and

complexities went, I also found that I was not alone. I know that I was

too embarrassed to actually cop to the fact that I was in the dark when it

came to finance. I think this rings true for most of us. Unless you are a

CPA, lawyer, or stockbroker, why would you know much about what they

are talking about on the financial news? Those boneheads on TV just

want to make themselves come off as smart anyway…hoping to maybe

score some ***** that they didn’t get in their youth! I hope to shed some

no-nonsense light on day-to-day money issues. In these days of

financial woe, we can all use a little help.

And as for the second one, I am sick and tired of hearing of these Wall

Street assholes getting huge bonus packages from our bailout tax

dollars. What a lot of these people did to all of us in the first place is just

plain criminal. I have never been keen on executives getting golden

parachutes; I’m more apt to give them a golden shower. I will do my best

to expose frauds and criminals, one at a time.
