And They Fucking Killed Topsy the Elephant, Too
Let the dismantling commence.
The beast is beginning to get a bit peckish.
Boy, "small government" sure sounds nice, don't it? In a bumper-sticker sort of way? Yes, let's get government out of our lives! Something we all can agree on!
And hey, I'm all for a new age of personal accountability, BUT SOMEONE BETTER FUCKING DECLARE THEMSELVES PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL THE TOXIC WASTE IN THE HUDSON RIVER!
The rights of corporations should not be equal to the rights of individuals. Especially when the rights of the corporation in question violate the rights of individuals to not live on the banks of a river "embedded" with PCBs.
And this Social Security Crisis -- whoo boy, we'd better get right on that. Because if we don't debilitate and destabilize the only essential service in the country not free-falling towards bankruptcy, well, it might be a little short on funds in 2077. So -- we could either ask rich people very politely to pay, proportionately, the same amount in payroll taxes as their employees, or... uh... dismantle it. Completely. Because that other option is unworkable. You know, where rich people have to help support the well-being of the nation? Because taxation is theft.
In fact, business leaders are so progressive in their philosophical beliefs, it sometimes borders on radical! Why, GE is secretly run by militant Marxists who are determined to equally distribute all goods that they produce a surplus of. Hence, the free and equal redistribution of Polychlorinated Biphenyls among all the citizens of New York.
Thanks, GE. You bring good things to life. |
