We keep hearing the same drone over and over..America is going socialist - you have to stop this at all costs.
Well..I say - if this is Capitalism, then I want socialism.
Today in America, certain people are getting rich for no good reason at all.
Take wall street giving themselves millions in bonuses at a time when they practically destroyed everything. This is the biggest outrage of all. They did not earn that money. They were merely sitting behind the wheel when it came to give out the money...just like their ilk before them that consumed bonus after bonus as the market rose overt the last 30 years for reasons having nothing to do with them.
If you live in this country you have to purchase auto insurance - a license for certain people to get rich - just like health insurance....Oh the rich and connected believe it is their right to stay rich forever...while people starve and go without medical attention.
This country has long believed that if you work hard you get ahead...but that glass ceiling doesn't exist just in gender terms but also economic terms. In America today you are more likely to get rich through luck than through skill...
And if that is how capitalism is going to work - the lucky get rich...everyone else just carries them, then I don't want any part of it.
If people like John McCain are going to continue to own 13 houses and complain the government can't afford to help pay your doctor bill, then I say to hell with him and capitalism - it has become the worst swindle in history - a legal way to keep you down through the decades while those with wealth sit around eating caviar and complaining.
If you want to kill the goose that is laying your golden eggs, then you rich people will continue your selfish politicking against things like the public option, and one day the goose of capitalism will be dead and all you whiners from the rich side of things will have to go into the other real world out there and learn what tough is really like.
All the lies, cheating, stealing, torturing, wars, and palm greasing to protect this way for the people who have control -
If this is Capitalism, then I want Socialism.
