拉菲的世界读后感精选(62)

影片中的另外一个角度就是对于普通人的质问。金融危机后，示威者举牌抗议，发起占领华尔街运动。可是，没有普通人的贪婪，金融危机能发生吗?把责任都推到华尔街精英身上，公平吗?导演用一段华尔街老人教育新人的话点题：
"If you really want to dothis with your life you have to believe that you’renecessary. And you are. People want to live like this in their cars and theirbig f***ing houses that they can’t even pay for? Then you’renecessary. The only reason they all get to continue living like kings isbecause we’ve got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I takemy hand off and the whole world gets really f***ing fair really f***ing quicklyand nobody actually wants that.
They say they do but they don’t. Theywant what we have to give them, but they also want to play innocent and pretendthey have no idea where it came from.That’s morehypocrisy than I’m willing to swallow. f***them."
在圣经故事里面，耶稣曾经说过，如果你们觉得自己都是没有罪的，可以拿石头砸有罪者，于是众人便散去。在金融危机之中，普通人真的无罪吗?每个人都要美梦成真，要香车豪宅，2：8原则决定了这是不可能的事情。但政客们必须迎合这种贪婪才能获得选票，于是政府有意放松监管而鼓励买房，于是金融业放大杠杆并转移风险，最终一地鸡毛。就象上文所引中说的那样，金融精英只不过是把手指放在天平上以帮普通人美梦成真，一旦松手，他们的世界便打回原形。
