49. Warpy, These Guys Have So Much Dough

I don't think they CAN go bankrupt. And that worries me, a lot.

And then, if they should suffer even a trifling loss, they go whining to their bought-and-paid-for Congress-slaves for relief and bailouts and tax cuts and whatever.

And if they trip over the Constitution or one of the smaller legal barriers on their way to lunch, they have it erased.

We truly have no recourse other than the bloody revolution left. Since we are 99%, that is our only advantage.

As the Born Loser cartoon stated:
