The most succinct explanation of American politics I've ever heard..

[Fumesucker]

I read this on another blog, it's a quote apparently from Tiny Revolution..


Almost all political conflict, especially in the US, boils down to a fight between the Sane Billionaires and the Insane Billionaires. It generally follows this template:

INSANE BILLIONAIRES: Let’s kill everyone and take their money!

SANE BILLIONAIRES: I like the way you think. I really do. But if we keep everyone alive, and working for us, we’ll make even more money, in the long term.

INSANE BILLIONAIRES: You communists!!

1. Perfect in every way!

2. Sounds about right n/t

3. I like Bill Hicks' explanation better:

"I like what the puppet on the left says. No the puppet on the right us more to my liking! Hey look there's one guy holding up both puppets! Shut up! Go back to bed America your government is in control! Here watch American Gladiators and shut up. Oh and keep eating KFC you fucking morons!!!"

4. Rec'd and forwarded to people I know who would never come here...

...but need to have their heads exploded.

Good one, FS!

5. The most important thing in the world is for rich people to get richer.

Doesn't matter about ANYONE ELSE.

Their problem, as you pointed out, is HOW to get richer.
