Bowling for Change..........from Rico
Ok, yeah...my slug line [Bowling for Change] is a blatant thumb-in-the-eye of that fat Commie-loving ass who made the film "Bowling for Columbine" (among other films insulting to sentient life forms and wet rocks).
Looking at the graphic of 'Left Coast' America made me mindful of a truly GREAT film by the Coen brothers..."The Big Lebowski" and the Newport Beach Sheriff scene Treehorn draws a lot of water...etc).
- Yup! Newport Beach has an average per capita income (PCI) of $86,586.
- Compare that to the US average PCI of $27,589.
Enough of the 'rest' of the US wanted "change" ....well it is here. Look at the sign on the factory gate. Now you "hope" it will go away. Shmuks!
- You're looking at a NO PCI future (unemployment), or one that is vastly reduced by Carteresque stagflation, or a hyper-inflated Mugabe-Zimbabwean lifestyle.
Good luck, suckers. If you don't throw the bums OUT at the polls this Fall, you deserve whatever you get.
