Greed

What a joke What a laugh People stressing The overdraft Oh my Oh me How much will it be? Can I afford to pay? Another unfair bill today? Such is the way of the corporate ladder To send paper with numbers In order to get fatter I laugh at your effort To rob me long distance Instead I smirk And return resistance It seems odd to me That people fret Like they’ll ever collect Is what I bet I wait for it all to collapse For corporate America To fall into relapse Then look at the greed And what they have brought How much blood from a stone? Is my thought I love to laugh at these greedy misguided fools Sending paper numbers To obedient tools When they send you pictures of numbers Send them pictures of money And laugh, laugh, laugh……….. Eric (and sometimes not)

Wow Linda thats quite the compliment. I to am an economic refugee and have been for some time. I'm not sure if people want to see my hideousness on TV especially in HD, but I'm willing to get on there and tell it like it is. Then again I think most people find solace in ignorance. There is a certain safety in being blind from the truth. I thank you very much for your support it means the world to me.

And I nominate Eric Nolan to have his own TV show to express to America the wrongs being done to all of us... and how the "fat cats" are living in luxury when I cannot find a decent job anymore... a collapse might just be what we need.. an implosion.. then start all over again with some good people to build the foundation... thankxxx Eric for this poignant write of yours... "Sweetheart"

Not sure Vince, if and when things do fall I tend to think the corporate bastards will be among the first to get paid back by the masses they have fleeced for years.

Gotta enjoy every freakin moment. The fall is near but the sad part is the corporate bastards will take care of their own and we'll get the bill for it. Vince

So who are you when you're not Eric? Yes again what you say is true ..yet why say it without proposing what to do? What's the meaning, the point it all seems so unfair, but you have the controll to stop just look else where. Light & Love
