Phil, I haven't heard that one in a long time. A joke became current in the USA that the only
trickle down phenomenon from the fat cats was the p*ss running down their senior citizen legs.
But I'm waxing vulgar. The trouble is that we in the USA have long been known for our "hey, it's just busines" attitude whenever families and lives are crused by the rampant greed and show-boatism which seems to be universally applauded here. Mafia Dons are granted celebrity status. I gues that's a form of "free-dom." I'm not trying to put the U.S down because I'm one of those "John Wayne" types...of course that's why I post on these boards. Anyway, for what it's worth, Cockeyed.
