Monopoly

I have finally figured out when the Country’s financial crisis started.  Oh, you can blame Greenspan or OPEC or Bush or Obama. Of course the Housing Market was a real problem. Surely we can all agree that so many people were stuck with overpriced and under valued real estate.

So whose fault is it?

OK I’ll tell you.  It’s Parker Brothers. You know the manufacturers of Monopoly.

Think about it, didn’t we all play Monopoly as children.   And we realized very quickly, that we wanted EVERYTHING!  WE WANTED ALL THE PROPERTY AND ALL THE MONEY!!!

We wanted St. Charles Place. We wanted Atlantic Avenue. We even wanted low rent property like Baltic Avenue.  But we definitely wanted the high rent properties like Park Place and the crème de la crème Boardwalk.

But did we stop there?  Oh no, we needed MORE.

We wanted the utility companies; the railroads and then we needed houses on our properties.  And finally we absolutely had to have HOTELS!! Those little red devils placed strategically all over our properties across the board made us breathe orgasmically.

So, I figured it out. Not our fault.  We are simply latent ‘Monopolizers”.  As I see it, we have every legal right to take legal action against Parker Brothers for a variety of reasons:

1.      Non-disclosure of the facts.  They didn’t tell us that when you buy real estate you actually have interest rates and taxes etc.

2.      False Advertising.  Their banker looked so warm, kind and friendly.   Well actually they usually are like that --when you DON’T NEED MONEY! Banks are modern day “Jekyll and Hyde’s”.  When you don’t need them their wonderful--when you do need them - “not so much”.

3.      Dishonest Business Practices--Their property never lost its value.

Now I know you’ll agree.  It’s about time someone else paid for our mistakes. My vote is, “We SUE!”  And if that doesn’t work, so what?  We can all . . .
