The rangling of the Earth from the Meek began in 1999 with the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act. Starting in 2004, predatory lenders began targeting the Meek, offering unheard-of deals on home loans. The Meek - unaware their inheritance would be used as collateral - then began foreclosing on their homes at a dramatic pace. Last week, the threshold was passed, giving Goldman Sachs a plus-50% holding of the planet at the time of their deaths.

“Once again Goldman Sachs has proven to be a leader in world markets, in this case literally,” said Former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson. “The economy and the planet are in better hands with Goldman Sachs.”

For the most part, reaction from the Meek has been mostly muted.

“Meh, whatever,” said Noted Meek Tim Johnson of Tupelo, Miss. “I never expected to see that inheritance anyway.”

Goldman Sachs announced the opening of a new division called simply “The Planet.” The Planet will be publicly traded, with shares of the Earth available for $87.45 at the IPO to be held later this week.

One way to begin to understand that we are doing better is to realize that some one thing, some one force has stood up, challenged the continuing fleecing of Americans by that thin line of cream that now have most of the wealth, and put some halt to the vampirism of ordinary folk by the corporate world.

When we know with some satisfaction that when he bankers and loaners have been defanged, that when financial services industries can no longer boldly lie and boldly make up their own figures without any governmental regulation, and when they all can no longer let our veins by any hook or crook, that we will have turned the corner.

The problem is not some plan of economic genius to get the ball rolling, or the lack of any plan.

It is the corporation opus moderandi than continues to promise us nothing but pain and loss.

I am beginning to think that a continual look at washington, an ennuied expectation that some gaggle of senators is going to save any of us is a waste of time. It ought to be plain enough by this time that the Senate is a harem of hookers for the corporate world.

Obama is beginning to appear to be like a child emperor in Far Eastern history, wherein he is a prop who is being hollowed out by his own lack of power.

It is now time to turn the sights on the corporations.
