Scenes from ‘Scenes From A Recession’

@ The Poor Man:

...
Things are tough all over, it would appear, though perhaps some have it tougher than others. Who are we to judge? As Christopher said:

Somehow it’s always reasonable to hurt the poor as a way to make them shape up. Tougher bankruptcy laws, welfare reform, it’s all good social engineering.

But if you talk about hurting the rich to make them reform, it’s terrible. Taking money away from a guy with plenty more to spare is worse then taking money away from a person with none left.

Have I mentioned “fuck them”? Have I? I only ask because fuck them.

Toss me, oh, around $400,000 out of that sum, and I'll happily vote yes on that proposition.

I'm allergic to puppies¹, and why do I care about the dead sexual organs of a plant, anyway?
