The 99ers? Let them eat cake- somewhere else



Is it especially evil of me to want this police officer to club these two bleating jackanapes senseless with his nightclub before hauling them off to the local Bastille to await the National Razor? I mean, wouldn't that just be a public service to the poor job-hunting, "just stepped in to rest my aching feet and read the want ads before standing in line for another three hours at the unemployment office" population?

Who the HELL wants to listen to this self-congratulatory, "hey listen up everybody I've got money to play with in the stock market" BS? My guess is that the outsourced father of three wondering where the next mortgage payment is coming from wouldn't mind being deprived of a conversation consisting of buzzwords like "market trends," "double bottom patterns" and (groan) "gap reversals."

I know ScotTrade has a product to sell, and the right to market it as best it can. But that doesn't mean I have to like the flood of "make money by pushing it around and not by actually producing anything or providing any value to society" commercials, does it?

I hope not. Because right now, all I really want is to see the torsos of these two grinning WASPS deprived of their empty heads, and those empty heads gracing pikes on the city walls. Instead, what we are all going to get is an extension of tax cuts which primarily serve to put more money in the pockets of people like these guys. The lovers of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity will just have to wait.

  1. I've been unemployed for A YEAR, and yet before you, I am as George Will. Jeez Mr. Class-War, these commercials annoy me too, but I'm not advocating the guillotine just yet.

  2. As Warren Buffet so eloquently put it, there is already a Class War underway, and his side is winning it.

    I don't consider "Mr Class-War" an insult, if that's what you intended. The Middle Class has been under siege since the Reagan Administration, kept complacent and dumb with a diet of Dollar Menu Meals, IPods and cell phone Apps.
