Greed is a Wonderful Thing.

Post by mnaz » October 17th, 2017, 3:44 am

Greed is a wonderful thing.
Trust us banks and you will
be uplifted on a rising tide
like a magic money trick.

Keep selling nuclear cars
with a thousand horsepower
financed on borrowed time,
and you'll shoot into orbit.

Greed is the perfect religion.
It never ends, it only tries to
sell you what you don't need,
but sometimes you need it.

aah , the mantra of Gordon Gekko....true in any time period...can't shut it down...someone might call you a socialist...my brother-in-law gets social security disability income but abhors any talk of "give-aways"...."those fucking socialists"....he listens to way too much right wing radio
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Indeed. And sometimes you don't even have to reverse it, just use what it says!

and greed in general. Might as well institutionalize it ! Celebrate it !

It makes the world go 'round... or maybe gravity does that, I forget, I get those two mixed up sometimes..

yeah 10.4 for sure the world don't spin on money - some say it spins on love but I don't camp out with those people - and try not to camp near them -
they can be as creepy as JimJones Inc.
