Rick Santelli

Rick Santelli is a reporter for CNBC and the newest voice for populism in America, when in February, 2009 while standing on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange he shouted the sentiments that every one of the poor, bedraggled and shoeless traders were harboring in their heart of hearts: :"We're not in a depression! People are just too lazy to pay their bills!  CEOs shouldn't have to suffer to buy Cadillacs for welfare queens !"

After shouting his impromptu speech into the microphone (that just happened to be hanging on his lapel), his face glistening with fresh tears Santelli quickly posted his entire manifesto freedom cry into an internets tube and a movement was born!

Instantly!

With no planning beforehand!
