Bitter as Hell

without comments

I want to see them punished, financially speaking.

All those neocons and supply-siders, the speculators and bubble-meisters, who turned the economy into something so lurid, so deceptive,
it would make Las Vegas blush.

I want to see them lose their second homes.

I want to see them lined up at the counter for a payday loan to get them by till Friday.

I want to see them shell out 231% annual interest for that payday loan, and feel glad to get it.

I want their kids to go deep into debt for a college education, the way my kids will.

I want their kids starting their adult lives dragging a ball and chain, like my kids will.

I want their kids to pay for an unnecessary war, like my kids will.

I want their kids to pay more.
