The Prime Target

From The Boomer Bible, Book of Adam:


Chapter 36
Eventually, there will be so many great bankers that they will build a city all for themselves, 
2  Called New York, 
3  Which nobody will be allowed into who actually makes things, 
4  Except skyscrapers that is, 
5  Because the banks and life insurance companies and brokerage houses who deal strictly in money will all need their own skyscrapers, 
6  With their names on them in giant letters, 
7  Just so everyone will know that they really do make things, 
8  Even though they really don't, 
9  Which has a lot to do with the appearance of value,
10  And everything in the world to do with American Capitalism, 
11  Which will have its headquarters in New York, 
12  On Wall Street.

Chapter 37
In fact, Wall Street will become the world capital of Capitalism, 
2  And will become so fantastically successful that the people who work there will eventually forget practically everything you* ever said, 
3  Because they will know better than you, 
4  About everything.
