The Cycle of the Shit Boat

It's a vicious cycle...and I hate it.  They cut our wages, they take away our jobs.  Then we feel like we have no choice but to dress our children with clothing made overseas by children, which takes money out of the pockets of Americans, which puts those Americans in the same boat.  We feel like we have no choice but to eat cheap, factory farm beef and processed food, which puts the local family farmer with integrity, who doesn't abuse his animals or his land, out of a job.  And he too hops in this Shit Boat.  And it's a hard place to be.  Stuck between your values and your reality.  It's soul-crushing, really.  What is the solution? 

Poor People Are Just the Worst

All this poor people bashing from the right is getting infuriating.  Especially considering that it's THEIR FAULT that we have so many "poor" people!  We can't all sell our souls to Satan for a little Koch money.  Some of us have to work for a living...but your policies have shipped jobs overseas, busted up the unions that helped us recieve a decent wage and obliterated the economy, kicked us out of our homes...and now you have the audacity to BLAME us?  To call us racoons and dogs and pieces of shit?  FUCK.  YOU.  

I look forward to the revolution.

Recalls: A Total Dick Move

Say you bought a refrigerator, you know, because you're not really poor.  When you pay money for a refrigerator, you expect it to perform certain tasks for a certain period of time.  If you paid good welfare money for that fridge and someone came along after just a year or two and took your fridge away, you'd be pretty pissed, right?

Now, how do you think the corporations feel about you meddling kids recalling those politicians they paid good money for?  They purchased those politicians with the expectation that the politicians would perform certain tasks for a certain period of time.  And you come along with your "rights" and your "solidarity" and ruin everything those corporations worked so hard for.

Next time, maybe don't be so selfish.  Maybe think about how you'd feel if you were MillerCoors, Koch Industries, Wal-Mart, AT&T...
