Sunny, hear.
So, let me get this straight once again: While the conservatives of the world cry about Satanic socialism and the end of American capitalism as we know it (thanks to Obama being elected), they happily gather together on Capitol Hill and hand out billions of dollars to every corporate entity and lobbyist they know (and hunt with, and take pork money from, and travel in private jets with, and have Thanksgiving at front-row NFL tickets with, and sleep with, and get free plastic surgery from, and taste wine with, and... are you getting all this yet?).
So, no matter what us little guys do, it will never compete. Get it, yet???
I can give $50 to charity: it won't matter. I can get a master's degree: it won't matter. I can mortgage my house to pay for my kids' college education: it won't matter. I can clip coupons: it won't matter. I can hire an above-board CPA: it won't matter. I can NOT get pregnant before marriage, pay my bills, and try my best: it won't matter.
If you know someone, play the corporate interests, become a politician, dissolve into vitriolic hate-filled conspiracies on the air waves, intimidate, threaten and blackmail, embrace the idea of pure trash who can't or won't try, or just plain expect that THE WORLD owes you something, then you now fit right in.
Congratulations. The far right and far left now fit in with each other perfectly. Their only argument is who is going to pay for it and why, ideologically. But on paper, the government, which is ultimately the taxpayers, is paying for them both. Crazy, huh?
Both sides, how about this? I keep paying for YOU to get knocked up, and I keep paying for YOU to drill in Alaska. I keep paying for YOUR welfare because you refuse to work (even though you do so on the side), and I keep paying for YOUR new stadium that you and your team, not the fans, benefit from.
How about that? Americans paying for their own welfare, independence, decisions, and quests for success, comfort, happiness, and respect.
I'm not talking about true infrastructure, protection, supply, and transportation; I'm talking about pork and welfare and excess and lies and basic bullshit. Don't tell me a bill will help my highway infrastructure get me to work that ultimately pays for lobbyists to get wealthy. Don't tell me that Social Security will help with my retirement even though it's long gone after I've paid into it my whole life. Don't tell me it's the guy's fault or your family's or anyone else's when you had sex and then have the government pay for you and the next five kids. Don't tell me that Roe vs. Wade should be repealed when you won't support birth control or abortions even though you and other wackos refuse to adopt a child. Don't tell me that I can't get my child a decent, free education while the local, state, and federal committees get quail and champagne every meeting.
Oh, and PLEASE quit reminding me that CEO's, CFO's, auditors, dirty politicians, and related assholes of corporations that are failing or going out of business received millions of dollars in bonuses, stock options, travel expenses, and vacation homes while their stockholders, employees, and customers got royally screwed. As long as Rush Limbaugh excuses it, all of you idiots out there will actually excuse what happened and blame it on the liberals and democrats. Meanwhile, all those capitalists, investors, lobbyists, and right-wing politicians just get richer and richer. Maybe you should quit listening to Limbaugh and instead ask him for the names of his connections. Way to earn that education and think for yourselves!
