Isn't it past time for the cheats to pay?

I cannot picture thousands now relieved from comfortable, well-paying jobs willing to work with stone and cement, dripping with sweat and grime, with lower pay, no longer in office or factory, forced to build and repair roads and bridges.

Is that what America needs most? Especially if we won't have the cars and gasoline to travel very far and struggle to harness the wind and produce a substitute for gasoline? Is this all we have to look forward to? Will jobs be limited to those never knowing a salary just as those who never paid taxes will receive an unearned check? A better solution would be to make all who have cheated the government of taxes, siphoning off corporate profits into their pockets at the expense of the lowly worker, be made to empty their over-stuffed pockets to the public they have betrayed. It seems we want to level the playing field so all become middle class!
