Tom is always fond of posting song lyrics, and so I thought of him as I was listening to some Queensryche at work. “Spreading the Disease” just came up in my playlist, and the lyrics seem unusually apropos in the current political/economic environment:

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid to look away
As the one percent rules America…
