Community Service for Madoff & AIG hogs


What would REALLY be a fitting punishment for this level of greed? Greed so voracious it morphed into a primal ugliness barely removed from evil.

A Prison term? I think not. For "white collar" criminals prison is more like camp. Martha Stewart cooked, made ponchos and used glitter-glue for crafts.

Fines? Yeah, right.

How about non-stop, tangible, hard core community service. Like working and living in a homeless shelter or a half-way house for 20 years. No vacation. No private jets, country clubs, or luxury wheels. No Italian custom made suits, shoes or shirts. No bonuses. Minimum wage. Public transportation. Sharing a room. Doing their own laundry & cooking. SERVING OTHERS.

Oh, they should have to wear an ankle bracelet monitored 24/7. And have this message tattooed on their foreheads " I am a depraved loser." In a nice cursive font.
