Wall Street Exec’s Design Scheme To Steal Everything
Edited on Thu Dec-18-08 11:48 PM by 20score
With help from some allies on The Hill, top hedge fund managers and CEO’s of the banking industry think they have designed a full-proof plan to steal everything on the planet. Legally. The Bush administration has pledged to do everything in their power to push the legislation through that will put an end to, ‘distributed wealth.’

“The President has vowed to help cow, er a, convince reluctant members of congress who have not yet signed on to this legislation,” Dana Perino said to a group of White House reporters. “We need to do this quickly, as not only is the President leaving office soon, but if this law is not pushed through in the next forty-eight hours, there will be a total collapse of all commerce throughout the world. We need to pass the Immediate Legal Larceny Total and Complete Evisceration of Trade Haggling Autonomy and Truth bill. Or, 'I’LL TAKE THAT'.”

“That sounds important,” said Sean Hannity of Fox News.

“Why, yes it is, thank you Sean,” answered Dana. “The bill starts with revamping the tax code making it more fair to the wealthy… I don’t think there should be any disagreement on that. Anyone making more than a million per year will now be in the zero percent tax bracket. Those making over ten-million will move into the negative tax bracket; up to one-hundred percent negative for those making over one-hundred million.”

“You mean if someone makes 500 million a year, the government makes it a full billion?” asked David Gregory. “They haven’t made enough as of late?”

“Yes, for their contribution to the U.S. – I’m glad you approve, David,” said Dana Perino, ignoring the second question. “There are also new rules, such as being allowed to leverage three billion times your initial investment, but you can trust us – it’s all necessary.”

“What can we do to help?” asked Sean Hannity.

Although I couldn't fit in a 'K' word. 'C' had to suffice.
