A note of appreciation from the rich..

[undergroundpanther]

Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery.

On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it -- you're a member of the working caste. Sorry!

As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America.

THE RICH ARE OUR MORAL INFERIORS.

1. And so appreciative that so many poor folks..

Continue to believe the bullshit "you can be one of us too" line by "voting for Republicans" and COMPLETELY against poor folks' interests.

4. All I can say is A dream that is hopeless

Becomes a shackle if you hold onto it with stubborn blind faith only an uncritical mind can do..America for too long has FAILED to citizize it's wealthy miniority and the systems to "manage" thier stolen wealth created by them.

2. Hey, don't forget we have the priviledge of paying

...taxes on EARNED income, whilst our betters receive their investments and inheritances un-taxed.
Cheers!

3. No - just the neocon patsies. And those can be rich or poor. Doesn't

matter. The ones who are part of the machine are the monsters.

7. What about those

who's UNQUESTIONING belief in the machine? Is the free market ever free?
Depends on who writes the cost benefit analysis

8. Right. But this is about kool-aid drinkers. And the poor Christians

who take pleasure in funding for their local church Charity, but refuse to notice that the money comes from what should be a great & effective fema are just as fucked as the rich person who sees the stock market roar on and on, and thinks it is a good thing they pay nothing towards debt, or war, or even have to fight inflation.

6. HAHA just wait evil Richies

until people have gotten so poor and oppressed that they are waiting outside of your gated communities with torches & pitchforks. It happened in France in 1789 & Russia in 1917, and it could happen again.

9. While I don't have...

...their education, upbringing, connections, manners, or appearence....I have better taste (I hang with Liberals), Appearance is a superficial value, Manners will never replace real compassion, Upbringing if it results in a Bush-style personality is vastly overrated, and FINALLY lacking a C- MBA from Harvard or Yale may limit me in your social milieu but at least I have educated myself past "My Pet Goat"....
...In short what they GOT-I don't WANT...If I were to value myself only according to lineage or "legacy" school admissions or the lies I told on a FEMA resume I would be FAR less a man than my Diesel Mechanic Father raised me to be...
...Instead I lead a humble,but decent life...I am well regarded by my neighbors,welcomed by my friends for who I am-not what power I hold,and still have Dad's love of english literature.
...And you best pray they are only fairy tales...
