T’is the Season
The AP breathlessly reports what we already knew:
Hundreds of world leaders, powerful politicians, billionaires, celebrities, religious leaders and drug dealers have been hiding their investments in mansions, exclusive beachfront property, yachts and other assets for the past quarter-century, according to a review of nearly 12 million files obtained from 14 firms located around the world.
It’s been going on much longer than a quarter century, methinks. I’d certainly take it back to at least the Saint Ronnie era. I remember that there was a rush into the Art World when inflation kicked off as the plutocrats realized that things would appreciate in value while money depreciated.
I understand the rich are well-marbled, and go well with mustard and pickles on rye. I wonder if the tumbrels deliver?
Not to worry. This is the good kind of greed that White evangelical Protestants approve of and even participate in.

It’s the same the whole world over,
It’s the poor wot gets the blame,
It’s the rich wot gets the gravy.
Ain’t it all a bleedin’ shame?

And that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues
