The perpetuation of class envy…

Homeland Security Won’t Explain Why the Mexican Border Wall Bypasses the Rich and Connected
I’m not one to complain about people being rich; hell, I want to be rich myself. But it’s stupid shit like this that makes you wonder how both rich dems and reps can’t figure out why there’s the perception of class envy in this country. I just got done reading the book “Free Lunch” by David Cay Johnston, where he makes the rather convincing argument that a lot of folks who are rich (Uncle Fucker, for example, with his Texas Rangers scam) got that way not by hard work or a great invention or wise investing, but by manipulating the rules of government to work exclusively in their favor at the expense of the taxpayer, something that Adam Smith warned us about when he wrote about the dangers of businessmen making laws. I, of course don’t believe that there should be any regulation of business of any sort. But by that same token, neither do I believe that government has any business manipulating the rules in anyone’s favor, rich or poor. Anyone who says we have a free market is a damn fool. What we have is mercantilism. We’ve become the new British Empire, going to war to expand business, instead of for defense. I’d say I can’t wait for November, but it’s probably just going to be more of the same shit coming out of a different asshole. Anymore voting is nothing more than a choice of whether you’d rather be fist-fucked with the Left hand or fist-fucked with the Right hand.
