Picture the penthouses they can't afford If Bushie's tax cuts for the rich go kaput: That sweet touch of heaven that's gone by the board! The round-the-clock nannies! The kids underfoot! " It just isn't fair to tax the far more deserving To buy back the bailouts that Paulson paid us. Real estate values in The Hamptons will plummet. Our heads are too large to slide under a bus." So what if they're greedy? That's how they were taught By Harvard professors they truly admired. The ones who've been drafting the new regulations To rein in the greedy and make sure they're fired. "Is banking exciting? Wall Street was for a while. Steal the customers' yachts. They are rightfully ours. Our hero is Gekko, not Elizabeth Warren. We're here to make money, not enjoy bankers' hours." Well they made it and spent it. Christine says she's sorry. Trophy wives were expensive. Money's gone so they left. But to outlaw abortions and masturbation? That leaves little piggies feeling really bereft.
