Seriously?!  Do the spoiled brats on Wall Street need a spanking?  ARGGH.  They are so frustrating!  But we know, we know…a spanking "will hurt us, more than it’ll hurt them," right?  It’s only a short-term solution, not a long-term solution…blah, blah, blah.  

If our children were acting like spoiled brats, we’d dig deep and realize some how, some way we fell down on the job.  We did not clearly set expectations, outline boundaries, define consequences or follow through on them.  We let it get out of hand, right?  The...
