“It’s morally wrong to allow
a sucker to keep his money.”

Great grand bargainer—Drone Ranger-
Slick Willy-style ‘negotiator.’ ‘Debt ceiling’
debater—‘fiscal cliff’ navigator— Ol’ Schmo
plays Harry Houdini. His hands are always tied—
on The Peoples’ needs!
Call it cruel Kabuki Theater/Silly Sinema—
slapstick, or whatever, with a West Virginian
Munchkin.
Corporate tax butchering! Elite tax ‘breaks!’ Weapons
of Mass Destruction! Bankrolling/co-signing for Apartheid
State Slaughter of the Day! Ol’ Schmo’s ever clever ‘across

Remember how he had Anita Hill’s back—

Your money in that pocket. They got your money!!!”

into a luxury getaway car. Track elephant excrement/donkey

Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrup-Grumman…
