"cut it out"



I do not believe she said those exact words to any one on wall street.

I would like to know who she told and the words she really used. Did she know the depths of depravity they were engaged in? Did she offer real solutions? The truths here are important.

The sound bite is haunting and damning. I fear that the truth might be worse.

What does one really say to those people. What did she really say to those people.

I can not imagine her looking into wall street eyes and saying "you are destroying lives".

I can imagine those on wall street laughing and saying "but it pays well"

I can see and have seen Sanders say those words. "destroying lives"

He speaks a different language.

Bernie Sanders is a very different kind of candidate.

16. This 2007 speech shows a side of Hillary Clinton that should terrify Wall Street

But finally, responsibility also belongs to Wall Street, which not only enabled but often encouraged reckless mortgage lending. Mortgage lenders didn't have balance sheets big enough to write millions of loans on their own. So Wall Street originated and packaged the loans that common sense warned might very well have ended in collapse and foreclosure. Some people might say Wall Street only helped to distribute risk. I believe Wall Street shifted risk away from people who knew what was going on onto the people who did not.

Wall Street may not have created the foreclosure crisis, but Wall Street certainly had a hand in making it worse

I know what goes on". Might be the only one. Some might say he's like the teacher's pet, but I'd say he's more like the teacher. Bravo.

19. The Rosemary Murders (1987) has the same quote (spoiler alert)

Partial spoiler below.

A murderer is revealing his motivations to a priest, and he says he's killing religious people because when he originally confessed the horrible crime plaguing his mind ....

"Oh, yes. l saw a priest."

"Know what he told me?
He told me to cut it out."

"He said say five "Our Fathers"
and five "Hail Marys" and cut it out."

"He absolved me. He absolved me."
