++MONEY CAN'T BUY IT++


I used the last of my paint stash to paint one last full gold piece. I dedicated it to the fact that America's wealth is owned by one percent of the population. A small handful of families owns more than the 99 percent of the bottom half. This shits me, because in the hour of three natural disasters and a wave of violence...these people do nothing but just sit on top of hoard that they do not spend. One family alone could fix all of the Puerto Rico, and they chose not to. In the piece I included today's stock market exchange. The losses, gains, and prices of the top six performing markets. I also threw in some stock broker slang. I did this because Wall Street and money seem to be the only thing America truly values above all things.









 I got a chance to paint a train in the same day with some scrap cans. Tried out something a little weird and different for this one.
