Rubes, Swindled and Marks

If Obama has any sense (and I'm confident he has plenty) this idea of taxing the Financial Titans is essential. Somehow he's gonna have to muscle Congress to belly up to the bar for something other than their own pin-headed greed.

As Jon Stewart remarked, "The only people who have recovered from the meltdown are those who caused it."

And that just ain't right. This has all played out as a totally rigged game, and most of "the people" of this fine Republic are the rubes, the swindled, the marks.

Some kind of reckoning is in order. Pronto!

BTW, I think sometimes " Our problems are so large and grave, and our solutions are so weak and lame."

Wonder how that turns out?!
