Implausible Rescue

Economic servitude has me in its chains, Wall Street and the bankers have all the money and the brains. I owe, I owe to work I go sang the seven dwarves, off to slave away for them listed by Mr. Forbes. All the years and hours put in on the job, to put aside a nest egg for them to legally rob. Common thieves in Armani suits Rolex Oysters on their wrists, hiding behind bribed senators as we watch and shake our fists. Who will save us from these guys from Washington and Wall Street? Who will give us back our savings we thought were ours to keep? Will Superman or the President swoop in heroically, pack them off to prison and return my money to me? We know that’s only in the movies or Batman comic books, because the government of America has become a bunch of crooks.
