Now that Fifteen Percent and the Two Cadillacs Missus have
the pedal to the metal on their cannonball run to the White House, it’s time to
pose the question any Crime Family Don would have to be asking himself about
here, “What’s in it for us?”
Well, in 2010 there were an estimated 46.2 million Americans
living below the poverty line, up from maybe 43.6 million the prior year,
suggesting we’ll have somewhere around 50 million, give or take, when the next
Presidential term begins. If Fifteen Percent
can figure out how to squeeze another $100 apiece out of poor people and
channel it into the private sector, well, his own personal private sector
actually, not too much to ask of a wise guy paying taxes at a 15% rate while
everybody else forks over more than double his, it could mean an additional $5
billion a year to him and his hedge fund minions.
And that’s just for jollies.
Screwing the middle class, that’s where the lollapalooza kicks in.
Watch the carried interest con artist’s face on TV these
days. Clearly, man can’t wait to get
started.
