Socialism? Communism? Asshole-ism

Life isn't fair. That’s the bottom line. And it never will be. A government that is supposed to be for the people is in place to try to make life as fair as possible. You don't wanna increase taxes the rich for making money, fine. The common fear is it will make people not want to work as hard to make money. I see. But taxing someone who doesn’t make shit to begin with is fine, because everybody has to pay taxes. I’m really confused by this because going by that logic pretty much means, if you are poor, too bad? So then what’s the point of the government? If it isn’t going to serve its people, we should just rule ourselves. So who will be the people in power? Of course the rich people, they have more resources. Sounds like a plan. Let’s live in a world controlled by the rich. Wait, that sounds like how we live now. Has it worked? Eh, I guess it depends on how much money you make. So what do we do about the poor people? Kill them? Ship them to an island? But who is going to babysit your kids when you go to your $25K dinner tonite? Isabella is gone, you had her killed for being poor, remember?

Ok, so we need poor people. But we don’t want to help them become rich? Hypocrites. I love it when people say “nobody help me get rich, I busted my ass to get where I’m at.” Like they lived in a cave alllll by themselves, and didn’t go to school (they must been self educated), and grew all they food, and made all their clothes. They didn’t need anything from anybody. All by themselves. HA, humans can be so full of themselves sometimes and I know because I’m a Leo lol. Or I also like when people say “I studied hard, got good grades, went to good schools, and got a good job. If I can do it, why can’t they?” Well for starters 80% of the people that say this: A) Had a good support structure at home (even if you came from a single parent household, you still had aunts and uncles and naanas that looked after ya snotty nose ass) B) Lived in a decent neighborhood C) Had ambitious peers to help guide them along. So yeah, it probably was easy for you to focus on school since the rest of your life wasn’t in shambles. “I don’t see why I have to work hard in order to help someone who doesn’t work at all.” This argument is about the only valid-ish (meaning it’s not necessarily valid, but it has some “valid” like characteristics) statement. Why should I work hard for someone else to live off of? Well blame the founding fathers for that. They got tired of the King havin all the gold and the pussy and enjoyin the hell outta life, so they decided that the next person that will run their lives will do it with their best interests in mind. “But but but, nowhere in the Constitution does it say ‘the right to welfare’ or ‘the right to collect unemployment checks’”. True it doesn’t, but when all this was being discussed back when they were tryin to figure out who should rule, the main theme (idea) was that everyone should have the right to enjoy a standard of decent living. Meaning that, while not everyone would own a horse and carriage with gold horse shoes and spinning wagon wheels, everybody would be able to use some form of transportation to get from one place to another. While everyone may not eat caviar as a midnight snack after clubbing till 4am, everyone would have somethin in their fridge to eat. “So what does that do with me? Why am I payin?” Well since the government can’t really charge you for the services it provides, it has to collect money from someone. That’s what taxes are all about. Why pay taxes to begin with? Well the government doesn’t expect you or the citizens to rally together and raise $400 milli for a “bridge to nowhere”. I mean, it’s not like the rich needed a bridge (he just bought a jet and put it on the government’s tab). The government also uses money to help people purchase food. You can’t go into a supermarket and purchase Angus beef with your welfare card, but you can get some Hamburger Helper.

Everybody hates the idea of spending billions on saving lives (universal healthcare), but spending billions to take lives (war) is a great fuckin idea. Simply put, ya’ll disgust me. To feel no sympathy for someone else because it doesn’t directly affect you…I can’t even put into words. Don’t vote Obama. Fine. Don’t vote McCain either. Put your name on the ballot, and vote for yourself.
