More money than I'll make
In three or four years,
Was spent on a party
With imported beers.

Losing retirements
Mysterious losses
Bailing out Wall Street
And their overpaid bosses.

Our bailout money
That our taxes paid
For wining and dining
So these pricks could play.

I want back my money
And screw A.I.G.
With interest and fines
And a stiff penalty!

Let the Feds help again
And with no bailing out
At a prison type spa
On a chain gang down south.

Toerag,

Well said Toe, my blood boils when I read about the CEOs, nothing but a bunch of crooks that belong in jail. Mr Alan (bankrupt the country) Greenspan, where are you hiding?

Well, I couldn't agree with you more Toe, I know the spa incident you're talking about.
These crooks walked away with enough tax payer money to live high off the hog for the rest of their lives. You know they're laughing it up and their crownies in government aren't going to do a thing about it. You said it very well.

You stubbed your toe on undeniable truth!
They should have to pay back every penny with 1000% penalty, compounded interest of 100%, as well as 10 years+ spa-jail time!

Amen!!! And AMEN again!!!

But before they're jailed, they should have to refund every penny their greeding grasping paws have grabbed... with interest!

Wonderful write!!!

Political art (in all forms) only gets a response from me when the creator is clear in his/her beliefs, and you are clear! Metaphors and abstractions DO NOT work in political art! Plus, I agree with you!

VOTE LIBERTARIAN! Or be smart about it and don't vote at all (I won't be!)
