Is the country still reeling
from the damage done during the Bush Administration? Were Bush and his conspiratorial cronies able
to affect so many behind-the-scenes changes to our legal system that the
country is now at the mercy of big money, and will always and forever dance to
the tune of corporate interests?
Let’s face it—the fact that there has been a
Democrat in the White House for almost five years does not seem to have turned
the nation around to any appreciable degree.
In fact, the right-wing smear machine has been effective at everything
from demonizing the president to convincing folks that the enemy picking their
pockets is the guy next door, rather than the guy in the penthouse who would pay
more for a business luncheon, without batting an eyelash, than you make in six months. That same guy will rip that job
at which you make that big-whig-business-lunch salary right out from under you and
hand it to someone in China or India, if it will put another penny or two into
HIS pocket. Also without batting an
eyelash.
And yet, the brainwashed
masses invest their time into begrudging forking their money over to the government, because then the “libruls” give the
money away to deadbeats and drug addicts.
Yes, folks, you should be angry about paying your taxes. But not because the money is used to
support the poor and disadvantaged. You
should be righteously put out because the guy in the penthouse has a panel of
accountants and lawyers who have figured out how he can get a tax-break for
providing that multi-thousand dollar corporate luncheon. That assh**e is not paying anywhere NEAR the
same share you are. Go ahead. Get mad about THAT.
Our nation as a whole has
turned ugly and venal, acquisitive and selfish.
We all saw that change happen, and none too gradually, between 2000 and
2008. And the house that Bush built
continues to stand, and expand, even though those evil-doers have been out of
the White House for five years. Georgie
(Dickie), you’ve done a helluva job…
