Fuck the Waltons

Fuck the richest family in America, the Waltons, who have a combined net worth of $93 billion.  If they were a country, they'd be the 59th wealthiest COUNTRY in the world.  They earned a combined $2 billion on capital gains and dividends last year, which I'm sure you know by now are taxed at half the rate of income.  That's nearly 5 and a half million dollars EVERY FUCKING DAY; $3,800 every fucking minute.  That's how much money they make.  Every ten minutes, they earn as much as many families do in a year.

and under dickwad Gingrich's tax plan, they would save more than another $300,000,000 per year in taxes.

fuck the waltons, fuck newt gingrich, and fuck the entire republican (and most of the democratic) establishment that permits for, nay lauds, this shit.  this is beyond an obscene amount of money.  They could get rid of 99% of their net worth and still be worth $930 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.  Meanwhile we've got half the fucking country needing some sort of government assistance, people starving across the globe, and countless millions of people homeless both here and abroad.

Fuck Mitt Romney

and his money-grubbing vulture capitalistic ass.  He made his $200 million fortune by fucking over companies, forcing way too much debt on them, and cutting jobs and literally stealing pensions right out of the working man's pockets.

this whole system is so fucking fucked.  how anyone could make such a fortune fucking over average people is revolting.  everything done in the financial sector of our economy is designed to benefit the extremely wealthy at the expense of everyone else.  Every fucking thing.

Launch/Rant

I'm just fucking fed up.  I'm fed up with the bullshit we're spoonfed incessantly about the wonders of the free market, and how deregulation and lower taxes will lead to job creation and economic recovery.  I'm fed up with having only two political parties that both serve the same interests and insulate themselves from outside attacks.  I'm fed up with people buying the notion that corporations deserve the same rights as people without having any accountability or responsibility.  For that matter, I'm fed up with corporations wreaking havoc on the environment, society, and the economy, and our stupid fucking elected leaders helping them to do it.  I'm fed up with the fact that wages haven't increased AT ALL for anyone other than the top 10% of people in this country over the past four-five decades, while those at the very top live in luxury completely unimaginable to the majority of us.

I'm fed up with people believing that capitalism is a beneficial economic structure for anything other than those who already wield hugely disproportionate amounts of power, money, and influence.  I'm tired of our tragic joke of a media that does more to support this raping of American than to stop it.  I'm tired of all the bullshit.

Fuck Capitalism.  It doesn't work for me, it probably doesn't work for you, and it sure as hell doesn't work for the majority of us.
