Never Enough (Your Life Is Theirs)
Very occasionally, a bit of truth escapes even the craftiest politician. One such rarity has emerged from the battle between New York’s thugs and those at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over who gets how much of the loot they steal from us.
DHS confessed last week that it “plans to drastically cut security funding” for New York City, as the Staten Island Advance put it. That prompted caterwauls from every two-bit pol who can possibly claim control over the five boroughs as well as this confession from New York’s nanny – sorry, mayor, Michael Bloomberg: “I would never think the city should not get more funding.”
Yep, you read that right. No matter how much Our Masters despoil us, it’s never enough. Trillions upon trillions poured down government’s rat hole, yet the rodents are never satisfied, never glutted, never abashed for even a moment at their avarice and theft. Instead, they voraciously hunt more victims and plunder.
We all knew this, of course. Greed to make Midas blush and thievery are the State’s essence. But how obliging of Nanny to confirm it!
