They Got All The Blood

a: New York ~
b: a blood-sucking leech

What: "Anyhow, New York is like a blood-sucking leech so huge it killed the cow. What is left for the "financial services industry" to steal? Try driving out of New York for a day, if you have the guts, and drive around some of the ruined towns and former industrial base of America. Not far from New york there are entire towns that are boarded up that once were vital and productive, and brought in important international exchange. You know, the stuff we can trade fro oil so we don't die. That stuff. Those towns were killed by the "financial services industry" of New York, because they get a small premium every time they kill an American company or force it offshore."
