The Great Common Wealth Siphon

Shame and anger are two prominent feelings when I see or hear anything related to the Common Wealth Games. What a farce? The details and magnitude of the ‘Great Common Wealth Siphon’ is all over the media and there is no point in listing the murky details. Rather, what I’m worried about is that as a nation we have institutionalized corruption like nobody’s business. The family run government has its own contribution to this entire thing not that others are any good, but the systematic loot that has happened over the decades means that change of government only means that somebody else gets to suck your blood (an almost unwritten agreement between the powers that be). I’m very angry and so should be the common man. When somebody doesn’t deliver on the agreed goods and services we do have the option of ‘Stop Payment’.

As a commoner I want to ‘Stop Payment’; stop payment of all my taxes- direct, indirect in whatever form till I get what is promised by the appointed government….nah nah.. that I guess is asking for too much, but for a change can I ask them to take out the syringe from my already anemic body, there is no more blood that I can let go. For God’s sake stop the ****ing loot.
