The Monsters Are Due on Maple Streets

But the monsters aren't low-income pregnant women and mothers who can't afford adequate nutrition for their families; or sick Americans who can't find health insurance to cover them; or blue-collar
workers who want to retire at an age when there's still some life left
in their bodies; or students who can't afford college without Pell Grants; or people who think their government's job includes preventing their air and water from poisoning them.

Sitting on the hilltop, watching Americans turn one another into
bogeymen, evading scrutiny and responsibility, are the real sources of
our distress.


They're the bankers who've extorted trillions of public treasure,
blowing up the deficit while awarding themselves inconceivably fat
bonuses.........
