The bigger the theft it seems, the more you can get away with it, we all now who these guys are, or were, don't we?
*There is one thing I’d like to know,* *Where did all the money go?* *Who had the last hand in the till?* *And made the final kill,* *Who were the crooks that sold us clones?* *Of worthless moneys loans,* *They ran with zeal and cash whereto?* *Does no one have a clue?* *Whose mealy mouthed law made it legal?* *Made grand theft public money regal,* *I know, the kings of yesteryear,* *Gave all us poor the gear,* *We ran from them to get away,* *Have they followed us, I say?* *Or new ones baked from this shores clay,* *New robber barons now hold sway,* *Has for the people, by the people, lost its ardour?* *When we these Robber Barons harbour,* *The ones, now tell the working class,* *Go and kiss my ass,* *This popular philosophy now in, beggar your neighbours kin,* *Lying cheating is no more sin,* *Run for your life, and the devil get the hindmost,* *I have my mansions on the coast,* *Who is going to catch the thieves if all wear masks?* *Some flaunt their misdemeanours, and in their glory bask,* *You know the ones, need not mention names,* *Still, with your money playing games,* *As I said it often many times before,* *The guillotine bring it to this shore,* *Display the trophies on the white house lawn,* *New awareness it would spawn,* *After all, we did it once before,* *Something French brought to this shore,* *Proud she stands in New York’s harbour,* *A basket full of heads our freedom barter?* *©10/02/2009*

They said, let them to have plenty or rope to hang themselves.
OK, they have an humongous quantity of rope by now...why they are not hanging?
Because we know who they are, what they had done, the misery caused to many, and who in Congress were in bed with and filling Congressmen pockets with their larceny money.
We hear now that from the bailout money they are giving each other millions big "bonuses" for what? for stealing money of the people? are we so stupid that we let them to make a mockery of the Law and Decency?
Yes, bring the Guillotine, no lengthily years of appeals, you guilty we chop-chop your head.
If that's not a deterrent...I can't imagine one to put the fear of God in those ungodly vermin.
