More Ranting

so they are putting 
some reigns on the credit card
companies again.......

what about those of 
that paid on time the last time
and every other 

time? rates did rise with
tempers and temperatures
no relief in sight

even uncle sam 
doesn't get away with all 
of that freaking crap

knock 'em down and keep 
'em down like at the un-
convenient store down

on your corner and
mine- lotto, cigarettes, sex
in all parts of town

Uncle Sam is not much of a hero in the eyes of many right now, Kristi, but even more people despise financial institutions and their ever-changing interest rates. Well said. Lots of truth here and I really enjoyed your last verse. So true! Love, Carolyn
