$100 ATM Receipt Discovered in the Hamptons - All my Fault!

I feel very bad about this. One of my clients, after our Philanthropy Scene in Wealth Bondage (he played an Emperoror and I was his slave riding behind him in his chariot, saying, Remember Caesar thou art mortal, as he strewed candy and nuts to the adoring crowd of three thousand hired extras) was too drunk afterward to pay his bill here. He was short about $500 to tip the charioteer and the grooms. So my client had me run round to the ATM and make a withrdawal for him. I stupidly left the receipt hanging out of the machine, and now it has come to this.

An ATM receipt showing a balance of nearly $100 million dollars was discovered at an East Hampton Village bank.

The first rule of Wealth Bondage is that Wealth Bondage does not exist. The second rule is what happens in Wealth Bondage stays in Wealth Bondage. Through my own fault, I have now brought Wealth Bondage into disrepute. I am sincerely sorry to our clients whose lives may have been disrupted by needless speculation and publicity. The real problem in this country is the illegal immigrants. And the gays. Let's return to fighting over what really matters. We are broke. That is why unions must be broken. We are broke. That is why your Social Security benefits are now called "entitlements." We are broke. Athens. Madison, WI. London. All over the world. Riots in the streets at what 20 Years of Wealth Bondage has done to destroy the social fabric, subvert public goods, brankrupt the state, and move more and more money into fewer and fewer hands.  We would like to help you but we the wealthy, dont you know,  we are broke.

Via penilestater,
In Seminole County, near Orlando, Fla., so many kids have lost their homes that school busses now stop at dozens of cheap motels where families crowd into rooms, living week to week.

American families have been falling out of the middle class in record numbers. The combination of lost jobs and millions of foreclosures means a lot of folks are homeless and hungry for the first time in their lives.

I fail to the see the connection with the $100 mil in an ATM in the Hamptons. The poor (formerly known as the middle class) have no call on the rich. Things will trickle down in time. Just be patient.
