The Fleecing of America

As opined on my pre-blog web site in 2000:

Imported Goods and Your Economy

This house of cards will not last, and we are trading our hard-fought gains in becoming one of the richest per-capita countries in the world for beads and trinkets and landfills full of garbage. We are putting our neighbors out of work in exchange for bigger commissions, and then buying their homes off the courthouse steps when they can't pay the bills. And the Barons continue to profit, laughing all the while at the rubes who allow it to happen.

It now appears that the VP is betting on a failing American economy to bolster his personal portfolio. And you can bet all his best buds are as well.

Explain to me, again, why these 'tards are in office?
Traitorous Maggots indeed!
