“Capitalism” - Yeah, Nothing Makes Sense: IT’S CALLED REALITY!
Posted by: Chaoz in Miscellaneous ShitWhat? Like political statements sound good when people are sober!?
Feh, the message is simple. “THINK.” No, really. Is it that hard? Or maybe it is. We live in a world where nearly everything is only a touch, a keystroke, or scan away. This maybe the first time in Human History where thinking is an active process (at least by our definition).
I’m guilty of this shit as anyone else. How else do people get up into their eyeballs of debt and NOT think they have to pay it off - with interest!?
The point is WE bought the snake oil spiel; paid in full and got a pig-in-a-poke in return.
Yet, WE go ballistic. We decide OMG! We need action! We need change! We need an Mixed American as President!
Which is all well and good. EXCEPT - he talks about fixing health care (well, MINE isn’t broken!?), Medicaid (WHAT!? I like my free drugs!!), Medicare (’death panels’ WHAT!?), gun control (where’s my gun … and bullets!?), etc. (where’s my etc!?)
…
…
The point is that people want (nay, DEMAND) change … up and until it affects THEM. Then it no longer becomes ‘change’ - it becomes ‘infringement’ … or ’socialism’ … or whatever boogieman works on the masses (at least those who vote).
Honestly? If I were President at this moment (Heaven help us all) - I’d go for broke. Since, people don’t like change. Give them a SHITLOAD - that way they don’t know which way to turn and be pissed at off the most:
- introduce a bill to legalize gay civil unions (not ‘marriage’
- archaic term anyway) - introduce a bill to legalize prostitution (with health checks under the National Health Care system and TAXING)
- introduce a bill to legalize marijuana (with lots and lots of taxes for everyone!!)
- introduce a bill to grant automatic citizen status to a peoples currently living here ‘illegally’
- introduce a bill to give national status to any party with more than 1000 active participants (two-party system, my ass)
- introduce a bill to decrease copyright and patent protections down to the proper 7 years (capitalism is supposedly about COMPETITION, amirite?)
- introduce a bill for a FLAT progressive tax (if the tax form is more than a page long - its too long)
- OH, and introduce a bill to increase Secret Service protection by 500% (I’d have to after THIS laundry list)
Point is - change is necessary and guess what? Change CAN be painful. If you can’t hack it - go back to the 20th Century. Ok?
