What most people have yet to realize is that labels like Black, White, Christian, Muslim, Labor, Tory, Republican or Democrat mean nothing to the people who control our govenment. They’re only terms used to keep the masses fighting. It takes a pretty deft few to convince a massive population into thinking that the reason they’re not wealthy is because of the poor and powerless, and not the rich and powerful.
If you think a woman on welfare is the reason you’re broke, then think of this. Jeff Bezos is worth 138 billion dollars. He has 154,000 employees worldwide. That means he could give every one of his employees $84,000.00 and still have 8 billion left to pay for groceries.
The Walmart family has a combined net worth of 446 billion dollars. There are 1.5 million Walmart employees, most of them making less than minimum wage, no health benefits, and are taking welfare that we pay for since Walmart doesn’t pay them above the poverty line. Guess what Walmart could do. Walmart could pay each associate a bonus of almost $300,000.00 and the family would still have six billion left.
Still think it’s a black welfare mom ripping you off?
“But Rex, these people built a business. Why should they have to pay for those that didn’t work for it?” So I guess what you’re saying is Bezos and the Walmart clan box all those packages, and sack all those groceries? The people that work there, just sit on their asses and collect a paycheck for watching those folks do all the work? Make no mistake, they had the business ideas, and they should benefit from that. However, there are a whole bunch of folks that helped them get where they are today. They didn’t do it all alone. Shouldn’t those people benefit in the success that they worked so hard for as well?
If you’re stupid enough to believe that all I want is something for nothing, then continue to be a poor schmuck working as a wage slave. If some idiot wants to stand on a corner and beg for dollars, and not work for a living well, they can knock themselves out. What I’m talking about are the millions of hard working people who want nothing more than food, shelter, and healthcare.
If you’re still blaming the poor for your troubles, then you’re being sold a bulk of bullshit and eating it like candy. It’s time to start going after the true criminals. These are the people who bend the media to keep us fighting. Billionaires brake the laws of countries daily, robbing people of their hard-earned savings, committing murder, rape, and child molestation, and all they have to do is write a check to the right policeman, or the right judge, or the right politician and they’re free to go. I say NO MORE! No more should we stand by and let this happen. No more should we allow a few of the rich and disgusting drive how the world functions, using politics and religion as their instruments.
I’ll leave you with the following to ponder:
Imagine if someone owned a dry lake bed. Then they convinced the townspeople to dig a trench from the river that is miles away into the lake. The people came out daily for a year and dug the trench. Many people died from accident or disease, and many more were injured, but finally, the water from the river filled the lake with fresh clean water for the town. Now, you’d think that everyone in the town should benefit from the water. However, you’d be wrong. Every time anyone in the town wants water, they have to pay the man who owned the dry lake bed. To live they pay 90% of everything they have to get water to survive. Did the guy do anything for that water, other than own what was once a desert? Nope. The town did all the work. But he’d convinced them that since they didn’t have the land, or the original idea, they have to pay for the water that they sweat, bled, and died to put into the lake bed.
Welcome to modern capitalism.
