I Don't Care
Dear Super-wealthy American:
I don't care. Of course, I care about you as a person. But about your wealth, I don't give a rip. A million is fine. Maybe two million. Heck, even five million may be okay. But, tens of billions of dollars? Not a chance!
As one friend said, America is about coming from one challenging situation into another challenging situation, but one with a real chance of success through honest work. And in your case, you have received many, many billions of dollars because of a corrupt and evil system -- one which takes from the many to give to the few.
This is a system which is unsustainable, for history shows that a top-heavy economy cannot forever be supported. Sooner or later it crashes of its own weight and hubris.
But back to the subject of caring, or the lack thereof. Some of your friends have expressed a healthy (almost) regret at having "made" so much money. Perhaps you have felt this, too. Indeed there is an underlying unease which one can come to by possessing ill-gotten gain.
So it is good to say that I don't care. I don't care how many billions in wealth you and your cohorts have lost over the last week. The sooner the world is rid of the evil system which brought you ever so much extra money, the better off we will all be -- including yourself.
May you live a long and happy life -- with much less money.
Sincerely,
The Musical Patriot
