The era of 'furbetti' is over! Or, only in Italy

I want to go back to the old days when my mother was alive and separated my friends into two camps--the ones she wanted me to be with and the ones she thought weird.

I want everyone who's not winning to win, and the old winners become losers who because they've lost are forced to listen to a speech on economic equality by Bernie Sanders as part of their punishment.

Free lunches for the children? Don't even think about it! That time's over, as dead as the emperor Mussolini.

Ask not what your furbetti can do for you, ask what you can do for your furbetti!

And what pray tell is a furbetti? An Italian word that denotes a person gaming the system.
