The Godfather would be proud

The Godfather would be pleased today.

The thieves are in control of American. Just go to the gas station and the grocery store and see for yourself. No, I am not calling honest, hard working farmers thieves. They have long deserved more for their work. I am calling the people who speculate on gas and oil prices and commodities thieves.

After all, what did they do to earn it?

The commodities traders are nothing more than Las Vegas high rollers using the American kitchen table as their betting chips. And guess what? The American family is tapped out. For the first time in my life, I can see how America can collapse.

Congress can see it, too. But the problem with Congress is they are made of of double speak lawyers who owe their allegence to K Street instead of Main Street. Some say lobbists have the same rights to free speech as the rest of us. Well, if that is the case, congress would not pass any legislation that would do those folks any favors because that's what congress does for the rest of us.

Congress has stopped listening to the folks. In fact, the recent gaff by Obama in San Francisco proves congress is a bunch of people who think they are better than the rest of us.

That's why the rest of us suffer at the grocery store and the gas pump.

All we can do is send an email or a letter to Congress and in a few weeks, you'll get a fluffy "I fell your pain" letter back.

To bad we can't send Luca Brasi.
