Last Judgment Day" for American CEO's


As St. Peter greets the line-up of Big Corporate CEO's at the Pearly Gate....he says..

"I cast all of you to eternal damnation for avoiding to grow your companies on American soil, for avoiding to hire the unemployed, and hiding enormous company profits in the Cayman Islands to avoid paying a fare share of taxes".

Each CEO falls to their knees making the same plea.

"But, but, but it was Obama's fault....he wouldn't relax regulations, he wanted us to share our profits, and worst of all, he wanted us in the top 1% to pay more taxes!! And because Obama wouldn't bend we could not be certain of our financial future!!

But St Perter wasn't buying it...

Their explanations were fairy tales and St Peter said so! "All of you gleefully embraced Citizen's United and poured millions of corporate dollars into defeating a President who needed you to create jobs that would help to feed the hungry, clothe the poor and house the homeless. Your time on this earth was wasted when you put your greed ahead of the health and welfare of your fellow citizens. They waited in unemployment lines, in homeless shelters and at food banks but you didn't step up to the plate. For that and more, I banish you for all eternity to be an community organizer and tree hugger environmentalist, gender equally advocate, while being perpetually pregnant. We live by The Golden Rule up here!

St Peter then stamped the forehead of each CEO with a giant letter "L" and and made each turn in their 3-piece Armani suits in exchange for Walmart tee shirts inscribed with "amnesty for all 11 million immigrants."

The End
