Put the Whopper Down

If only we were pissed enough to invent something akin to the guillotine (don’t want to be a diabolical plagiarizer, originality has much more shock and awe value). Let’s cart families like the Bristols and Johnsons to the town square whilst we pelt them with the rotten food they’ve forced us to live on then lop their heads off. Think that’d get the 1%’s attention?

We've been conditioned to think individually and as such we are powerless. For the love of god man. Put the whopper down and pry your fat ass off your disgusting couch. I hope you realize the Bristols view us with disdain, a pitiful shanty town of lemmings. And when I say “us” that includes millionaires to crackheads. And when I say “Bristols”, of the Bristol-Myers Squibb behemoth, I mean those that manage to maintain a hubris about themselves despite never having  worked a day in their lives, didn’t earn $1 of the money they live on, have never accomplished a damn thing and are a complete waste of space yet control everything. And when I say “everything” I mean to include the White House, Congress, Ben Bernanke as well as what we eat and what we believe we can't live without, their products. The truth is the power is with us. The masses. We have numbers. What if we don’t buy Kleenex? What if 300 million people simultaneously pulled what money we do have out of those colossal banks? Those bastards would notice. They NEED us to maintain their homes, cars, compounds, planes, yachts, really soft toilet paper made from Swedish rabbit fur, etc.

I want to hurry up and add I support capitalism. Bristol, Myers and Johnson saw an opportunity and took it, expanded it, maxed out the potential. Isn’t that the dream? Some of the anger I have is jealousy. I wouldn’t turn down a chance to live like that. I don’t really notice the disparity in their life and mine when I’m solvent. But when things take a nasty turn, all of a sudden I’m mad and screaming for my rights! I do think there has been perversion of what our country was founded on. A political post was a service position, not a career. You did your term, then went home to the occupation you had before you served. Our representatives were truly “of” the people. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Those that live on their personal Ponderosa, paid for by us, are missing humility. It happens when wealth is passed down to a generation that didn’t build the wealth but had it handed to them with no effort on their part other than a trip down the birth canal. I’m disappointed it wasn’t me. I think I’d feel better if they showed a little gratitude. Or if their head was rolling around in a basket.
