The Uranium Tipped Pen

As people are probably sick of hearing, the US is opening the doors for a 700 billion dollar fund of corporate welfare, to reward bankers for fucking the world economy.

Frustrating, yes

Scary, yes

But one still can’t help but feeling a little smug. Since this essentially constitutes socialism (welfare, benefits, the collective protecting itself) bailing out capitalism.

Maybe they’ll be less quick to espouse the virtues of US capitalism, now that it has fallen at the feet of it’s rival ideology for mercy…

Well one can but hope.

We all know that a capitalist isn’t <i>really</i> opposed to taxes and welfare, so long as it is being used to feed and clothe the rich, who have worked so hard for this hand-out.

Why, all over Wall Street rich men are singing the praises of pulling together, and helping out our fellow man.

It surely won’t be long till we see Oxfam appeals, live from the stock exchange, showing poor starved executives, who must walk 700 yards to the nearest bus-stop, and don’t even have a trophy-wife to their name anymore, and just a few million pounds a month could end these woes.

“give a man loan and he’ll be rich for a day. Give him control of the national banking infrastructure with an almost bottomless bail-out fund, and he’ll be rich for the rest of his life”

Cut  to scene of laughing fat men.

In other news, unemployment is rising, with no notable increase in money set aside for the dole
