does one city lose
two
billion dollars?
stolen,
not in the dead of night,
but in broad daylight.
how
does no one notice that
someone
is draining
the tax dollars out of the coffers?
who's at the wheel
here?
governor,
mayor, congressman or woman.
is there
an accountant in the room,
a comptroller,
anyone with a calculator
and an elementary knack
for mathematics.
if someone stole
five
thousand
from your bank account,
or just one thousand,
you'd notice it
gone
at some point,
like at the first of the month
when the statement
arrived,
or when you logged into
your account
online.
questions would be asked.
heads would roll.
this has to be a joke,
right?
