Reply #82: You aren't a member of the ignorant mass...

[Javaman]

you are a member of the working class like the rest of us. Who believed that if you put in a honest days work, paid your taxes and did right by your family, in the end you would be able to retire aan live a peaceful life.

As I grow older and realized that I will die at my desk, the scales have fallen completely away from my eyes.

We few, we happy few, we band of suckers have been had by professional politicians who have zero in common with us and not knowing of our plight.

The ignorant of us who threw away hope (not talking about political platforms) for republican pie in the sky stupidity, those are the ones I'm referring to.

We who see the game for what it is, our hope, our dreams are crushed by the rich and fed back to us as it all being our own fault for wanting a better life.

We now watch the casino of stupidity that is on display in congress with the debt ceiling. The grand game of chicken at our expense.

They don't give a damn about us, it's all about getting the last word and an edge over the other party.

While there are two drivers heading for the cliff, each other eying whether or not the other will jump out first, however, it always seems that everyone forgets about the cars. Those cars are driving the two chicken playing morons. Who represents those cars? We do. So whatever happens, if one or both of the chicken playing moron politicians jumps out of their respective cars, the cars still go over the cliff.

So sometimes I wonder who is better off? We who understand our suffering or the right wing mouth breathing morons who think they are one genius invention away from "solving everything"?

Either way, the way down looks the same.
