Burning My Money

Quack, I knew it! They have been milking me, and robbing me through the tax collector for years! The EU have wrested loads of my hard-won money from me. The bloody Ponzi scheme has ruthlessly taken multipujillions from me; they take it in order to borrow more... from me! As if it weren't bad enough, I can't charge them an interest. They are about to "re-structure" €110 billion in tiny Greece which has already robbed me of my dollars (and they want to send billions more), they call it "re-structuring" so they corner idiots like you, but I've been around for one century and I certainly know better; that's why I'm rich and you're not. Well, I may not be rich enough to save Greece as it would suck all my precious economies I have been accumulating ever since I found this golden rock the size of a goose egg (made me rich after years digging holes in Alaska). Perhaps, they should put their islands on auction so I could wring some wampum out of gullible tourists to make up for my losses. And they're [the EU] also increasing their budget, as it were not extravagant enough. This will be the death of me! £10 billion! And they're using it to recreate the Canadian Yukon (have been there, only snow and rocks) in some German zoo, a dog fitness centre in Hungary and cocktails! Now, I know I should not care seeing I'm now a U.S. citizen, but they also tax me dearly back there in Scotland where government spending is higher in some parts (e.g. Lanarkshire, it used to be such a nice place in my admittedly distant childhood; lots of money to make from coal and iron) as a share of GDP than it ever was in ex-USSR countries. I wanted to expand there, but could not, they would take 26% of my profits! Never! And they're going to squeeze more out of me, I'm sure, since they must pay off the bloody public debt, mind you, it would take over 2,740 years to the tune of £1 million a day, I probably won't be around by then. Hope you had a nice Extortion Day, pal!

P.S.: I'll soon be telling you how the Bernanke thing and the unleashed Fed Cerberus (who's the imbecile who forgot to tether it? Seems I'm going to have to pay a visit to good old Hades, perhaps he has also taken some of my stuff) are stealing my dollars with such stealth they make people think it's actually helping the economy recover.

A New Dairy

Shh, please don't tell the others where this dairy is, or they might think I'm concealing facts from them. I certainly don't want them to know where I stacked my mon... Argh, just keep quiet, and you shall have a penny, or perhaps one of these euro cents (would save me some money since they aren't worth the metal they're stricken on). Here I shall record all the mischiefs of these people who want to rob me of my hard-earned dollars, they're after my money, I know it. You must help me! How can I ever bathe in my money again if, deep-down, I know there's one coin missing? They have already stolen cartfuls of it, but together we shall look for the places where they have hidden my precious coins. A commission? What on earth have you been taught? When I was your age, I was digging holes in Alaska looking for my fortune, and here it came through hard, indefatigable labour (and sheer luck, but let us say it was only work or these little buggers will keep asking for my money), and we were happy with shaking hands with the boss. In fact, I left Scotland a pauper after this wretched ditch-digger paid me with a 1875 U.S. dime which he fully well knew was worthless... Anyway, to business, time is money after all! The feller who said that really was a genius!
