We lose our jobs. The insiders have theirs forever.

Our wages are flat while Wall Street fat cats get ever increasing bonuses.

We lose our health coverage while Congress, the Judiciary, and the Executive branches enjoy the best insurance around.

Commercial credit for most is tight but the big banks have trillions in credit.

Organized crime would never have been this insensitive. At least, they realized that they needed customers with a few bucks to place a bet.

We are in the great decline of the ruling elite, addled by nepotistic inbreeding and cronyism beyond imagination; coddled by the government that they bought and paid for; and ready to take everything that isn't nailed down, only to blame the people for having nothing.

Welcome to the new klelptocracy where insiders make the rules then claim the high ground of intelligence and morality after winning a game they rigged in the first place.

Once, we had a real hope that endured despite the challenges. It helped produce major changes when we demanded them. Now, we're left with scraps from the movable feast that is devouring the nation and we're expected to say, "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
