fuck the rich! (an uninformed view on financial politcal... umm... stuff)

this whole debt ceiling conversation is so aggravating. and it's for so many reasons. sure there' the whole... politics as usual... repubs gotta defend rich people, corporations, and tax loopholes and they can be so mean about it. do you have to do all that yelling guys? cuz on the other side of the aisle are the good intentioned pussies. yes pussies... i'm sorry, i can't come up with a classier word for the democrats.

i mean, i'm still raging about how they had control of the house of representatives, the senate, and the WHITE HOUSE!!! but somehow, somehow we didn't come out with the super progressive dream machine it was advertised to be. why? cuz the dems are pussies. there is absolutely no other reason... go ahead, research it. put hours and days of studying into it and i guaran-goddamn-tee you come back with the same results.

'you were right josh, the dems are a bunch of pussies.'

now that i've filled my yearly quota for using the word 'pussies,' i'll try and get into the current situation.

debt ceiling needs to be lifted. it's something we've done a whole bunch of times before and usually nobody blinks when it needs to be done. but this time it's a big issue. and maybe it should be with unemployment and a sinking US dollar. but let's not lose our shirts and get crazy either.

repubs want to reduce spending. a pretty logical idea when you consider the base of our problem is we spend more money than we make.

so the dems are willing to make some cuts. they realize, yes, the base of the problem is we need to cut spending. it's tough and some crucial shit will take a hit for it... like social security and medicare... but something's gotta give. (maybe they could go ahead and end all them wars and put an end to all money invested into american imperialism PERIOD... but i'll save that diatribe for another blog post).

but the dems have a bright idea of their own to help us, on top of spending cuts, let's raise taxes on rich people.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!! DOUBLE MOTHERFUCKING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! how could anyone possibly be against this? no brainer! i mean, they're rich! let 'em pay their fair share. the rest of us only bust our asses day in and day out in soul sucking jobs that wipe the smiles off our faces so that they can afford a maid to clean their castles.

but the repubs don't want none of this. they say we can't raise taxes because the rich people are "job creators." if we tax the "job creators," they'll create less jobs.

and a mighty fine job they're doing with the whole job creating thing as of late. just look at 'em go!

listen, if you're gonna hind behind this BS concept of "job creator," can you at least try and make it look like you actually create jobs?

but nooooooo, we have outsourcing and cheap labor on foreign shores! it all helps the bottom line which is to make the "job creator" richer. so the "job creator" is "technically" creating jobs, just not for american citizens.

wait, why are the repubs so anti-immigrant? they defend fat cat bastards that employ people who aren't U.S. citizens. if it wasn't for non-citizens, the "job creators" would have it so tough. they'd have to give us jobs with fair pay and benefits and let us off on christmas.

point is, the "job creators" aren't doing shit for us. let them make up for what they lack and toss some extra coinage into the bucket! besides, they're defended by republicans so i'm certain they're all patriots who love their country very much? why wouldn't they willingly wanna help us out on this one?

i wholeheartedly believe in taxing the rich. it's my solution for everything. that's cuz i'm a pissed off middle class dude who's come to realize that the american dream is just that, a dream, a non reality. and we owe the robbery of this dream to greedy bastards who keep coming up with new and improved ways to spend less money so they can make more. the way they spend less money is they get their labor OUTSIDE of america.

they don't care about the middle class. and we're pretty much just apathetic about it. sure, we get mad, but twitter posts won't be enough to start the revolution here. they got the guns but we got the numbers... but fuck.. not now... the new 'dancing with the stars' is coming on.

the dems defend us but to a certain point. and we're just like them. we talk big at the press conference, but once you get us in the room to negotiate, we crumble. the repubs hold the demands of corporations over the dems' heads just like our jobs hold our financial well being over ours.

so to try and sum this whole thing up here and put a bow on it:

man up democrats. man up middle class. fuck the rich cuz they fuck us on a regular basis. and fuck the repubs for standing up for them. tax the rich now. tax them till they bleed. and when they say, 'oww, that hurts,' show them your scars.
