dear wall street.

i come to you compelled to say what has been on my heart. knowing it will probably fall on deaf ears im taking my chances anyway. after an extremely difficult year in regards to our economy we are all welcoming 2009 and hoping for better days. but in the midst of all the media coverage - the newspaper headlines - the tragic losses in retirement accounts - i have been struck deeply by the news of 3 recent suicides. all of them stemming back to the destruction on wall street and in the global economy. and i pose this question to you today investors, bankers, real estate moguls, polictians -- don't you think your greed and hunger for money/power has done enough damage? i have lost both of my parents due to choices they made in their lives. those choices and their consequences will haunt me and continue to shape me for the rest of my life. looking forward to my upcoming wedding, i am reminded in every step of the planning process, they will not be there. based on the ruthlessness of your greed you have shown no remorse or accountability for what has transpired. Stop being selfish. Don’t be a coward and run away. You can teach your children, your spouses, and Americans a very valuable lesson -- you can change, you can redeem yourself, and make lasting changes your legacies. face the consequences of the decisions you've made over the past leading you to where you are today. don’t leave your families to face them alone.
