Today I read a short article from Paul Krugman and got completely carried away... I am sick and tired of the Washington crowd... of politics and professional politicians. I wish I could move back to the Netherlands for good. I am quite sick of the fact that our country has gone from a (Mensa) lowest IQ for the top 2% of 145 when I was already in my middle age, to a current one of around 135. The politics have become no good, the school system is failing, I miss having intelligent people to talk to - blah, here goes:
How can these “middle-class” (don’t they KNOW they are the POOR), ignorant people belong to and vote for the republicans? I guess ‘ignorant’ is the prime word, particularly for the ones belonging to the ‘tea party’ (what a laugh that is... if they knew what it was supposed to mean, their ignorance might drop a half point perhaps). Don’t they realize the people they repeatedly vote into office are simply career politicians who can’t or don’t want to work at regular jobs, but have learned they can suck up to the rich, get funding if they promise to steer all the money their way, and spend the next 20 years sitting in Congress saying ‘NO’ to any decent bill that comes up that might benefit “the people” (i.e. NOT the rich... it might hurt them), then can retire on full pay, with great health insurance and many other benefits. Further, they can go to one of their by now very good wealthy friends and get a job paying EVEN MORE with better benefits as a lobbyist, or one who goes around telling all the friends he made in Congress how to vote to be sure to get the best percs and most corporate money by voting against anything that might help the poor and the (ha, ha) ‘middle class.’ :-) ;-)
And now... how do I know you poor ‘republicans’ (all the non-super-wealthy ones... I know why they are) are so ignorant. Because you didn’t pay attention to social studies, history, math, and a lot of other stuff, in school... and you now pay more attention to voting for crappy ‘singers’ on a super-crappy TV show than you do for people running for government jobs of any sort. You are the morons who don’t pay attention to what politicians are saying and doing, haven’t learned anything since around kindergarten and never vote. Unfortunately, you are also the ones who not only haven’t read this article, or any article of any intelligence, and have no idea what I am talking about. Further... I am afraid the educational system in this country has begun to be taken over by the republican party and its minions, and therefore, things are worse than any of us realize or know. We are becoming a nation of idiots.
When a Wal-family woman can try to give away her crappy art collection to save on her taxes, only to have it refused by 2-3 intelligent museum heads, then build a museum to house it in her home town, giving her even better reason not to have to pay any taxes... we are in bad shape. The very wealthy usually 'give to charity' a lot, but their idea of 'giving to charity' is to give to the symphony, museums, theatres, etc., in other words, give to all the people who can entertain you and then take that off your taxes. 'After all, the poor are only poor because they are lazy,' to quote Barbara Bush, and they usually can't entertain you. When many, many more of our ignorant population vote for non-entity pop ‘singers’ than vote for president, we are in worse shape. When people actually vote for ignorant ‘tea party’ nuts, some of whom have never had a real job (Ryan worked as a ‘go-fer’ for someone in Congress and for McDonalds... REAL WORK, right?), we are done for. Talk about the fall of the Roman Empire... the shooting in the streets has already begun. My dear ancestors who fought in the original Revolution must be spinning in their graves! They wrote the second amendment so that the people who volunteered to be in a National Guard (they called it militia) would have guns to use if needed... NOT TO TAKE HOME and kill your neighbors, people!!!
Since there is no god... they all were invented to keep the people in order and not objecting to the greedy overlords... I cannot now say ‘god bless you, you ignorant poor who are voting to make sure the wealthy not only keep, but also get more, wealth’... maybe I’ll just close with “May the powers that be help you all MAYBE read and Learn Something...anything, soon, please.” Oh hell, won’t happen, we are done for.
