I’m Not A Bolshevik, I’m A Leninist

See the difference? Because I don’t.
The guy who spends his whole life thinking about how to screw people in the ass has a plan to stop the ebbs and flows of the global market with some prescription-strength Astroglide applied liberally. Yea, yea, yea. A hammer sees every problem as a nail.
QOTD from the prolapsed Prole himself:
Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.) said that a bank tax and other tough new measures would be introduced by the individual countries, but in a coordinated way to prevent bankers from moving from one place to another to escape regulation.
“Lenin might have been able to put socialism in one country, but tough bank regulation in one country ain’t going to happen because we will lose people,” said Frank, who heads the House Financial Services Committee, a key spot for any American decisions.
But don’t call them Bolsheviks. It’s like poison complaining about a skull and crossbones on it’s warning label.
Shorter Frank: Wenin put sociawism in one country but what we need is a Gwobal Weninist so that the sands of other people’s money won’t swip through our fingers.
You have the head of the House Financial Services Committee arguing in favor of Global Leninism.
You can go ahead and pull your money out of the stock market now.
