The Case for Bastille Day

[Ranger_Strider]

It is time to finally admit that too many (I would venture to say a majority) of this overly-entitled class of robber barons are entirely without moral compass and have capitulated to the seamy, greedy, and slimy side of human nature: tort lawers, mortgage brokers, real estate developers, securities-rating companies, federal mortgage companies, investment bankers, hedge fund managers, corporate CEOs and CFOs, (ponzi scheme) financial advisers, small-business owners hiding income (cheating on their taxes and hiring illegal workers), politicians, doctors who own (stocks in) diagnostic companies, Medicare fraudsters (including many pharmacists), pharmaceutical execs, medical insurance companies, government regulators, and on and on and on. It is blind for government to throw borrowed money at problems that stem from individual and collective avarice (a deadly sin, mind you). It is time to treat this wide spectrum of people who continue to game the system with contempt and suspicion at every turn; and over-regulate them until they turn blue and choke. Cease enabling the disgraceful upper-crust leeches that have almost bled our (once great) country of its life’s blood. Shine the light on them and cast them out into the wilderness to rend their garments, tear out their hair, gnash their teeth, and wail in the night without refuge in our (wounded) hearts or (humble) homes.

Perhaps I bogged down in the long list of fraudsters. Suffice to say that I'm so pissed off I could spit.
I will never capitulate to evil though. Greed is evil.
I liked the way the French revolution came down on the necks of the deserving. I think it wouldn't be bad to replay the same sort of thing in the near future in America.
Let's say that anyone holding more than $5 million in personal assets goes to the gallows, ok?
$3 to $5 million is just a contemporary upper-cruster who will be expected to provide at least 12 good jobs with full benefits to real people who only expect a good life and not to stand on the backs of their fellows to get it.
$1 to $3 million is someone who will be expected to serve soup to the starving and homeless at least once a week.
$200,000 to $1 million will pay at least 33% tax and teach economics to those making less.
People making less than $200,000 per annum will be favored in all court cases against those making more.
No heads rolling because most of the greedy bastards won't want to live without their dirty porn-star sex partners, and will kill themownselves anyway.
I'm waiting for the headline about Tiger slitting his wrists over the troubles that money brings.
'Zat better?

Ok, ok, ok, let's just say that anybody who accepts the Nobel Peace Prize is NOT allowed to send 30,000 of his brothers and sisters into harm's way in the same week. Is that asking to much of the collective sanity?
