Dispensing with Dynasties

Posted on June 1, 2003 in Justice

Why do we flinch when someone suggests that we recover the ill-got wealth of junk bond dealers, savings and loans frauds such as Neil Bush, sports stadium con men like the Resident, etc.? Why do we allow these dynasties to continue unchecked?

Control these fortunes better and much of the world’s crime will disappear. The Bush family consists of racketeers. How about imposing their beloved Rico laws on them?

It may not be the best way, but it beats a revolution with guillotines and lynch mobs that will undoubtably claim good minds worth keeping. I’m open to suggestions on other ways to reconstruct progressive society in the wake of the Bush retrograde guard action.
