This is a mugging by a thug. How can anyone with a conscience sanction taking close to half of someone's income? It's gangsterism. Even the Godfather would not stoop so low. At least he had some honor.

I say this even though it won't affect me other than the sorrow it generates, a sorrow for a country our Founding Fathers would not recognize.

When some of his competitors were arrested for skimming Federal funding, an older Sicilian guy I worked for came up to me and said with genuine indignation, "5% or 10%, dat I canna see! Butta 50%! Dat's a too much!"
