The "Scrooge McDuck Syndrome"

I am going for the Nobel prize for Medicine.

Have you ever heard of  OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ?

This disorder causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or urge, just like broken record...

Surely yo heard of these people who collect Elvis statues , Barbie dolls, garden gnomes , up to a degree that is exceeds the level of being ridiculous, that kind of stuff.

OK his is still benign these collectors don't hurt any one with it and the give us , the "sane people" a good laugh every once in a while...

 There is also a degree in this disorder in people who have their house filled to the roof with garbage they don't want to part with because it has tremendous value to them..

hoarding  junk

When this happens , it is called compulsive collecting or Compulsive Hoarding 

This is a pattern of behavior that is characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress or impairment..
(sorry folks for the official sounding language , this is what you get from wikipedia) 
It can be a health risk to the people who live in the  vicinity of such a person, which often has no idea of the abnormality of their condition and/or his/her situation and they keep collecting just because their brain tells them to ... 

This gave me the idea that greed , always wanting more money, not to buy things but just the perverted urge to  HAVE more and more money it must also be a compulsive collecting disorder , and if it is ......(pause) there must be therapy for these Greedy Oppressive Perverts.

Note: every similarity with the American G.O.P (as they like to call the Republican party) is purely coincidence..   

Ok that about it being a  coincidence is not true ...

But let's get real , these Greedy Bastards, I am sorry, people suffering this disorder are a serious health risk to society, because they will find all kinds of ways , like a drug addict who needs a fix , they need more money, and if it means to steal it from people like you and me? They don't give a damn.
And these people suffering this disorder are also very smart so they WILL find legal ways to get it from your pocket and keep it in theirs ..
They create poverty, and poor people have no money for medical care, ergo: these money "collectors" are a health risk and should be treated for this ..

Maybe something to add to Obama Care ?  after all these greedy Bastards, OOPS I am sorry again, people suffering this disorder cannot be expected to use parts of their "collection" to pay for it ..  (dripping sarcasm)

OK , I have discovered a new dangerous disorder, let's call it a syndrome , that sounds better.

Scrooge McDuck

And I have the perfect name for it : "the Scrooge McDuck money hoarding disorder"  what did you say ?  is this too long ?   OK let's shorten it to:

 The Scrooge McDuck syndrome

Just look at the character of Scrooge McDuck , his compulsive urge to be the richest duck in the world, and for what? Only to pile it up in his money storage and sit on it...

Is this so much different than these people collecting garbage and sit on it? 
Or as these Greedy Oppressive Perverts who rob he USA blind just to soothe their sick compulsive need for MORE MORE MORE money, even if this will destroy the economy or even the whole country?

These poor people need to be treated, they need therapy to eventually convince them to give all this money back to the people and country they stole it from ..

Remember it people, you heard it from me :  The Scrooge McDuck Syndrome  

Now where is that Nobel Prize ? 

 lalala all that money lovely money..  I want more and more and I want to swim in it and it is all mine

( just joking folks )
