Main street has already been irrepairably harmed. And it started long before Obama.

The only thing wrong with the cartoon is the FED feeding the cow. Where the fuck did they get an actual product to feed the cow? I thought they just printed the cattle feed out of thin air?

Look closer, they are feeding it magic nothing!

A perfect analogy.

Ha, Ha, I typed anal.

Which is really where main street is taking it.

Here's a good one, published in 1720:

Gold coins are funneled into the central banker's mouth and paper money comes out his ass.

Not much has changed in the symbiotic banker/governing class' world over the centuries has it?

I especially like the new/old angle in the political sphere of late, of campaigning against bankers while taking money from them, so one can become powerful & wealthy just like them.

There is something inherently wrong with that, that I can't quite place my finger on...lol.

Perhaps, just simple greed & power lust and not realizing one always pays a penalty, at their end ;-)

As it has always been. THe only difference being, now they don't even pretend. Whoops my bad. They still pretend that illegal actions by the priviledged will have consequences.

"They still pretend that illegal actions by the priviledged will have no consequences."

Correct.

Hey we cool? We got off on a wrong tangent a few days back, we really are on the same side, just different vectors.

nmewn: Some twat actually down voted your comment. I had to counter with an up vote since I find nothing wrong with your analysis and logic. I never use fucking up/down votes but this demands action. Had to up you...

Well, I appreciate that, I give out far more ups than downs myself, even to people I know disagree with me...surprise surprise...lol.

It doesn't bother me, I've made enemies, I embrace them, to keep them close ;-)

I have to vist the DC area for family obligations over Thanksgiving weekend.  I don't truly know what is worse,  living in the suburbs of Obamas Chicagoland or visiting the mother in law and three sisters in law and hubbies in DC the land of building cranes and crony crookery.  I do know one thing.  We are driving as the TSA won't be groping me in the near future.  By the way,  milking a bull can be very hazardous to your health,  especially if he doesn''t realize the need to be milked.

Those cranes are mostly on the VA side.  Government jobs, but those contractors sure do benefit from VA's lower tax rates versus those of DC or MD.

I have the solution, simply move the bull out of the way and let the cash hit mainstreet directly.

OR

We could turn the bull around, Mainstreet can feed the bull its own shit and hope it continues to flow back out the other end onto the bankers.

Or 

 

We could kill the bull and eat it.

Well hell, when all is said and done, when all the psuedo-intellectuals go to bed and and drunk fighters fall asleep, - 

I like the cartoon pretty much as it is.

All you guys that talked about milkiing that sucker - take another look.

No bag, no udders.

It is a bull, mfers.

Don't try to milk a bull...

Which, if you think about it, is BTFATH.

So there!

No, America works like this.  I bought this gun yesterday and I will ask $600 for this gun.  I will modify the trigger assembly so it will be super smooth for you.  I know Rugers because I own several of them.  They do not make the Ruger Chargers anymore.  This one comes with Weaver mounts and a scope.  I really do not want to sell it so I am firm on the price and it is a walnut stock, not laminate.  These are awesome guns and especially so if I work my magic on their guts.

I think a guy can work with a stock Ruger trigger and save money over putting in a Timney trigger.  I have done a Ruger trigger before for a friend on a Ruger 300 WSM.  He loves that rifle now but not the price of the ammo.  I have done the Timney's as well but that is a huge pain in the ass but they are nice triggers.  Who would have thought a ZHer would have known?

This little 10/22 is a very cool, AND accurate; a smaller gun.
