I do, however, contend that what is being described is not "whining." Whining is when your kid adopts a crappy mood as a device for winning your attention or favor. It's usually rooted in reality in some way - they just decide to get dramatic about it. What these Wall Street Fat Cats are doing is simply making shit up. That's not whining - that's just being flat out dishonest and greedy. I have no quibble with the content of your post – or Taibbi’s 4 points.
