It turns out Eric Cantor
did not live up
to his namesake
and heal the country
with Jewish song
but he did get hired
as vice chairman and managing director
at a type of institution
known to be
a breeding ground
for "welfare queens"
who beg for
and then recklessly spend
taxpayers' hard-earned money
while adding nothing of value
to our society
or otherwise officially known
as one of the Wall Street investment banks
Moelis & Company.
In this new post
he will earn
almost ten times
his Congressional salary
of $193,400
putting him into
a solidly millionaire tax bracket.
Would that a few
of those Occupy folks
come back from 2011
and wait below
just in case
he suddenly feels compelled
to serenade them.
