KILL THE MOTHER FUCKING LAWYERS

Yes, some of you know I used to practice Law. But I think it is important to let all of you know that the reason for this rant is basically the reason for me finding a new profession--the level of bad faith, lack of business judgment, and overall ethical shortfall that permeates the entire industry.

I was in a car accident 6 years ago. It still has not gone to trial. That is right, 6 FUCKING YEARS AGO!! The plaintiff wants to settle for ...are you ready for this.....$2500.00 bones. That is right. I did not forget any zeros or put the decimal in the wrong place. Two thousand, five hundred dollars.

My lawyer from my insurance company called me last week: A summary of the conversation:

lawyer: Hey....Its so and so. We go to trial on Monday!!
me: Great. Why have you not settled this? How many cases do u have that are 6 years old?
lawyer: Oh..uhh...well you know the adjuster wont give me the money to settle.....and you are my oldest case.
me: Do you think you will bill in hours more than $2500.00 in preparation of this trial?
lawyer: Yes.
me: Then why have you not settled?
lawyer: Silent
lawyer: Oh and I need you in court Monday through Wednesday at least.
me: I will NOT be there
lawyer: Oh...I was really hoping you would be there.
me: Well I will be there but it will not help our case/cause
lawyer: Why?
me: I work in finance. Have you seen the stock market? Do you think my new CEO and boss wants me wasting my time sitting in a courtoom? Not to mention at least some of my clients would like me to keep an eye on things....Would you sit in Newark NJ in court over this case knowing what you know?
lawyer: uhhhh..probably not.
me: Right. So I will not be there, unless you want me to use my computer, trade stocks, make calls to clients and make nasty looks at the plaintiff and yell, "taste it!!" when she wins and gets less than $5k?
lawyer: Uhhhh...no that would be bad. Really bad.
me: Right, so I will not be there.
lawyer: Yes, right.

Today, the lawyer calls. She tells me that my insurance company bought another insurer who is defending another defendant (they consolidated mine and another case with the same plaintiff because she does not speak English only Portuguese) and now there is a conflict of interest. So MY lawyer is getting the boot and I will be assigned a new attorney. Now I could give a flying fuck who my piece of shit lawyer is. That being said, this piece of shit case has been pushed to May now, which will move us to 6.5 years and I am willing to bet it gets pushed out again.

So what I say is FUCK ALL OF YOU LAWYERS. All of you scummers. You all make me sick. Settle your fucking bullshit cases, ans top wasting our time, money and energy.

What is wrong with this picture?

OK, so maybe from time to time you can call me Captain Obvious, others tend to call me Captain Fucko, but whatever. I have a HUGE problem with this bullshit Obama stimulus plan, and how I am going to get fucked on both ends. Check this out. I am soooo NOT gay, but man do I feel like I have one giant cock in my ass, one in my mouth and I am jerking a third guy off here.

Let me explain: I apparently am not a "hard working American". You see, I am not SUBPRIME. I did NOT contribute this fucking mess. I don't carry debt but for a mortgage I can afford (and actually pay off entirely if I wanted to) and two car leases. That is it. So only people who are upside down in their mortgage, or buried in credit card debt or a combo of both are hard working. It just does not add up. Unless you are a Socialist. Then it does. Fuck the wealthy. They can pay for it all....and we are going to. The problem is, it will simply destroy the economics of this country. This is the cock in my ass and mouth--the Government is fucking me on both ends here. I did not contribute to the problem, but I AM PAYING TO BAIL YOU FUCKS OUT!!

The top 2% of the populous pay the majority of federal tax. When you raise their tax rate, and basically say that if you make $249,999.99 a year you are OK, and not subject to tax hikes, you INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE TO NOT WORK HARD. YOU CRUSH ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRITS, AND WILL DRIVE A HUGE SPIKE IN ILLEGAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY.

Moreover, as the "wealthy" are incentivized to make less, there is less tax revenue. Take a look at New York City. The state wants to jack taxes on the "wealthy" in the city to help cover the massive deficit. The Mayor of NYC, who should be the President, in my humble opinion, is vehemently opposed to such ridiculous behavior because he knows this will force the wealthy out of the city. He also knows that the wealthy are being impacted not only with higher taxes, but will be making less money this year than last. It is the double whammy I mentioned before.

This is the hand job. We ran some numbers in my office yesterday. If you earn more than $249,999.99 a year, the Government will take 50% from you. Add in State and local taxes getting jacked. Answer me this Bat Man..

WHERE THE FUCK IS THERE AN INCENTIVE TO EARN? Is it soooo bad to be a Capitalist? Is it soooo bad to want to make a lot of money, HONESTLY(meaning not being a scumbag and actually being paid for the job you do and not being a liar, cheat or scum bag?) Answer: There is none. NONE I say and it is continuing to make me feel sick.

So there it is folks. Are you feeling the same way??

Last thing: I am thinking about selling t-shirts with "Are you.....SUBPRIME?" on them. Would you wear one? I am trying to send a message here. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
