Forget Wall St., Occupy Pennsylvania Avenue!!

Billionaires don't give a shit about you. Everyone knows that. That's part of why people are angry at them (although the real reason is jealousy). They seem not to care about anyone but themselves, we don't know them personally so we can't say, but they SEEM not to care about anyone else, and because of their unlimited finances, they can change the world to suit themselves, or so we're told.

Before we get any further into the argument, without googling it, can you even name five names that belong to the 1%? I'm not asking so I can call out your hypocrisy (although...), but you need to know who your enemy is, what exactly they're doing wrong, and what exactly they could be doing right. Otherwise, you're shooting without a target. Don't waste your time protesting a cause you don't really know anything about. Honestly, I think a big part of this movement is people who are broke and angry and are looking to the most obvious scapegoat, but not the correct one. So, until you can name five names off the top of your head, what they're doing wrong, what they could be doing right, then shut the fuck up. You don't know what you're talking about. If you're not questioning these things yourself, then you need to go back to work and stop costing the rest of us millions of dollars in property damage and police overtime by protesting a cause you can't even really explain, ok? Otherwise, you're pretty clearly just going to protests hoping to get laid by some hot, hippy chick.

If you have questioned all these things and you really know your stuff, that's great. You should be sharing this information with people. The problem is that you're sharing the wrong information. As we've established, billionaires don't give a crap about us. No one's arguing that. However, there's a huge group of people that vowed to care about us and that we pay to take care of us and they're getting away scott free; and it's not JUST republicans. It's ALL politicians, republican, democrat, independent, whatever. Do you really think that only republicans are being bought off? Please. If you do, you're part of the group that needs to shut the fuck up and go back to work, or at least spend a little time researching public campaign finance.

Why are you not occupying Pennsylvania Avenue? The real problem is that the billionaires have bought off the government, right? I don't think anybody in the 99% would deny that. However, who could blame the billionaires? If you had billions of dollars, wouldn't you use it to change the world in a way you think is best? We all love to sit around and blow ourselves and say things like, "If I had a billion dollars, I'd end world hunger, I'd end war, I'd fund cures for diseases and give money to organic farmers and really make this world a better place!"

Well, this isn't Miss America. You have NO IDEA what you would do if you had a billion dollars because you've never had a billion dollars. I love all these so-called liberals who say it's wrong to judge other people, but then turning around and judging people. Never judge a man til you've walk a mile in his shoes. You've probably never even seen $5000 hand made Italian designer shoes, let alone walked in 'em, so shut the fuck up. You have no idea what your life would be like if you were a billionaire. So, forget that hypothetical bullshit, it's not doing you or anyone else any favors. In fact, it's making you look like a complete jackass. It's like saying, "If I were Lady Gaga, I wouldn't have worn a dress made of beef." Well, how do you know? You're not Lady Gaga.

All that aside, there's another huge problem with the whole movement. Who the fuck do you think you are running around telling people what to do with their money? You're angry because the billionaires buy off the government, so the government blows the billionaires and then uses YOUR money to clean up the stains. In essence, people you don't agree with are telling you how to spend your money. So, who the fuck do you think you are telling anyone else how they should spend their money?

Your anger could not possibly be more misguided. You know billionaires don't care about you, you don't know what it's like to be a billionaire, but you know you can't tell anybody, billionaire or not, how to spend their money. Well, you can tell them, but they're not going to listen.

Politicians, on the other hand, vow to serve the public. They devote their lives to serving the public. They take money from the public, supposedly so they can use it to serve the public. Yet they don't. They serve the 1%. So, who's the whore? The billionaires who offer to pay for dirty deeds, or the politicians who promised you that they'd do good deeds, but are really willing to do all kinds of dirty deeds for the right price?

Billionaires NEVER promised to serve you. Billionaires NEVER claimed to be looking out for your best interest. Billionaires NEVER put America first. You have NO control over billionaires. Billionaire is not an elected office. Who's really lying to you? Who's really responsible? Whose mind do you really have the power to change? Who should you be knocking on their ass for lying about caring for you, taking your money, pissing it away, then lining their pockets with blood money?

Fuck Wall St. Occupy Pennsylvania Avenue!

PeachPass

I'm going to take a quick break from my usual topic of employment and share something that I wrote with great passion that deals with government and taxes. I originally created it as a comment on a page that's against PeachPass, which is a new lane on the highway that you have to pay to use. Well anyway, here goes:

Wait, so lemme get this straight. GA wants to save tax payer money and help the environment by charging us money to use a special lane that was built with money we already gave the state....WHAT?! Doesn't the government know that unemployment is over 10% in GA and those of us that are employed are massively overworked, overqualified, underpaid, and underappreciated, and that for a lot of us, every penny really does count? WELL, THEY SHOULD! It's their own stupid Department of "Labor" that calculates this crap and puts it out there to make sure we're all constantly reminded of how bad the economy is. Am I the only one that thinks this is intentional so that we'll all come to accept these increasingly crappier conditions and surrender to a feeling of powerlessness?

This kinda reminds me of the "temporary" toll on 400.

Am I also the only one who's noticed how they just started building new lanes and putting up purple signs without really telling us what was going on at first? But hey, that's our fault for not spending every waking moment reading excessively lengthy documents that are purposely written in a way that obscures meaning and bores people so as to lose everyone's interest so much so that the very politicians who are being called to vote on these things don't even read them? We did away filibustering, but somehow it's still okay to do it as long as it's on paper.

I'm tired of this shit! I'm tired of seeing America elect these fat, bloated, rich, white, male career politicians that don't live in reality and don't give a crap about any of us! Mofos, you are PUBLIC SERVANTS! That means YOU serve US, not the other way around. We are YOUR boss, but you've somehow brought a class action lawsuit against us that ties our hands and removes our ability to fire you.

You wanna talk about the "FREE MARKET?" In what other industry on the planet does the boss make LESS, work twice as many hours, have fewer days off, and crappier benefits, or possibly no benefits, than everyone else in the entire company? Yet, somehow that model works just fine for the government. If any of you were doing any other job than professional fat, bloated white guy you'd be fired and would never hold a job again because your own mama wouldn't even give you a good reference!

We all know this stuff, yet, we've all surrendered to the epic fail that is our government because we see it as an inevitability, and those of us that haven't surrendered are too damn busy working our asses off to support ourselves to fight. Politicians, what is wrong with you? When you were a kid, did you dream of growing up to make America a better place for a living, or did you grow up dreaming of blowing some rich criminal asshole for a living?

FIGHT THE EVIL POWER!
