Thank you, Scuba for posting this. America has become a very sad place to be for some of us.

This needs to be fixed badly.

7. The unfortunate thing? This state of affairs was reached with...

...the enthusiastic assistance of ordinary Americans, each individually convinced that the only things holding him back were criminals and other parasites who didn't believe in honest labour.

13. What we need is to toss the criminals on Wall St into those $30K/year prison cells.
