Toys in the Attic
Published July 28th, 2011 | 
I never had a train set as a kid. Never swung on a wooden swing set either. I’m not suggesting I was deprived as a child. Despite my modest working class upbringing, I had my share of toys.
And no … I don’t think we should define by the things we’ve been deprived of, but when I think of this debt crisis nonsense, I can’t help thinking these politicians just want to take all our toys away to give to rich assholes who have everything already. Am I wrong? My parents are scared to death that they won’t get their social security check next month. I’m worried that my own situation will never improve. Who is speaking for us? Why can’t our so-called leaders remove their heads from their hind parts long enough to do what’s best for the country for once?
