People's

I was sitting in fast food restaurant in Eastern Connecticut a week or so ago when I looked out the window at the mall across the street and was startled to see this disturbing sign:

"People's United Bank".

Well, that's it, I thought. The Obama plan to turn the country Socialist has finally come to fruition.

Upon further investigation my friends at Google and I discovered these corporate entities:

• People's United Financial, Inc.
  
• People's Bancorporation, Inc.
  
• People's Educational Holdings, Inc.
  
• The People's Gas Light and Coke Company
  
• Music For Little People
  
• People's Drug Mart
  
• People's Garment Public Company Limited
  
• People Magazine
  

And the list goes on and on!

The remarkable thing is that so many of these "People's" companies are banks and investment firms. Banks and investment firms are supposed to be about Capitalism. What the hell does that have to do with The People?

A couple of these are far more disturbing than the others.

That one called "Music For Little People" sends shivers down my spine. Once the government gets its hands on our music and our kids, well, turn out the lights, the party's over.

And what about "The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company"?

What are we going to do when the government takes over our light and soft drinks?

All I can say is God help you if you drink Pepsi, Comrade.
