American Apartheid

All battles are won or lost before they are fought: 
Capitalism is slavery to those without capital.  Just showing up at a lousy job means you already lost the Capitalist Game before you play.  Refuse to play games you are fated to lose.  I only play games I can win.  How bout you?

NO ONE IS OVERPAID:
Neocons spew their mythology: In a free market it is impossible for anyone to be overpaid or underpaid since salary is always the market price where supply meets demand.  Some people get slave wages because they are slaves.  Some people get millions because they are worth millions.  This argument is absurd because this market inherently favors the rich and handicaps the poor.  Workers have no bargaining power short of violent revolution, while the CEO has his salary set by golfing buddies on his board of directors. “No one is overpaid” becomes a sick joke.

Chief Executive Officers today often earn over $10,000,000 per year, 500 times what their $20,000 workers make.  The one doing the work makes $10 per hour, while the one doing no work makes $5,000 per hou:.  PLANTATION SLAVERY:   CEO’S DO NOT RETURN VALUE:   Anyone with an MBA degree can do their job just as well.  CEO'S DO NOT ASSUME RISK:  If they ruin their company, they still get a multimillion-dollar golden parachute, they still get several mansions, they still send their kids to Ivy League schools.  People who assume all risks are workers who get downsized, who may no longer be able to afford rent or food, who cannot afford to send kids to college.   Workers have their lives turned upside down by poor executive decisions, and often have to move to a new city penniless in a desperate attempt to find a new job.  CEO’S NEVER ASSUME THAT KIND OF RISK.

Supermodel shows up at a photo shoot and gets tens of thousands of dollars for one day of striking poses:   For one day of standing around, she gets more money than you get in a year stuck in a tedious slave job in a windowless basement cubicle being yelled at by an abusive female supervisor.

TV stars are given millions by sponsors who advertise products.  Just one problem: ADVERTISING IS A SCAM.  Advertising works only on gullible gits.  Corporate advertisers steal millions in Surplus Value from minimum wage workers to hand to celebrities.  This means morons such as the cast of FRIENDS make hundreds of millions.  Jay Leno makes a million dollars per week.  Does Jay Leno’s monologue make you buy nacho chips?  What git would buy an SUV because he saw an SUV commercial?   Everyone changes channels during commercial breaks.  Shaq O’Neill and Tiger Woods get millions for a thirty-second Nike commercial, as Nike forces slaves to make shoes for pennies per day.  Insane.

“I make millions and I’m worth every penny!” 
Deserve millions for reading dialogue written by others? Imagine a celebrity fixing your car or painting your house then billing you for millions!   Advertising deludes celebrities to think they deserve millions.  How much would stars deserve if the system was sane?   Stars would tell jokes for a few hundred thousand per year instead of tens of millions.  Only then can they state, “No one is overpaid,” without it sounding like a sick joke.

AMERICA IS NOW A CASINO ECONOMY:
Winners win unearned fortunes as losers starve.  None of this New Wealth is earned, but won through inherited trust funds, tenant rent, stock dividends, CEO pay, crony contractor corruption, insider trading, palimony settlements.  Today anyone who works for a living is a Punk Chump Fool.  Hard work brings no reward as workers stay dirt poor, while some Golddigger Whore gives a millionaire a blowjob and wins millions sitting by her pool forever.

AMERICA IS NOW A NATION OF PRISON-BOUND TRAILER TRASH:
Crap culture took over Pop Culture:   Bling, sex, vice, pimps, hos, strip clubs, casinos, lotto tickets, crack, meth, outstanding warrants, parole violations.  Rude, crude, vulgar, uncouth, antisocial Police State.  Everyone born guilty violating parole.  Is this America?  Are these Americans?  O yes indeed:  American, all too American.  These are not good people.  This is not a good generation.  America in this Neocon Dark Age is devoid of Grace, Integrity, Intellect, Wisdom.  Americans are now just a race of greedy graceless gangsters good only for Nuclear World War III Cannon Fodder.  Blow it all to hell.  Gotterdammerung.  Good Riddance.  



Great way to perpetuate Class War:
Demand that all tolerable career jobs require a Masters Degree.  Make a Masters Degree so expensive that only the Property Class can afford it.  Make sure an affordable Community College Associates Degree yields nothing but slavery.  Degreed Professional Property Class have their choice of good high wage career jobs.  Worker Class have no choice but slave jobs that get outsourced, rendering them perpetually underemployed desperados.

In Social Democratic nations like Sweden and Britain, a university degree is almost free:  Sweden even offers a generous cost of living grant students can live on so they don’t have to work while attending school.  When Tony Blair attempted to introduce tuition fees in British public universities, students rioted in streets for weeks.  Social Democrats understand that expensive private college tuition does nothing but disenfranchise the majority, rendering them uneducated desperado slaves. 

IT IS TIME FOR AFFORDABLE GRADUATE DEGREES:  Government must offer subsidized tuition and larger student grants so that a Masters Degree costs no more than a Community College Associates Degree.  Today America is Plutocracy masquerading as Meritocracy:  High wage careers are bought regardless of academic achievement.  This means a genius may be chained to a fast food job for life, unable to afford graduate tuition, while an illiterate dimwit git can buy a Yale University MBA and wind up President of the United States.  Clearly the system is broken.




VICTORIAN APARTHEID:
Recently enjoyed a magnificent summer day in a big wilderness park in a wealthy white suburb:  Dozen smokin hot babes walking toddlers and dogs.  My jaw drops, pole-axed by Long Tall Green-Eye Scandi Suicide Blonde Devastators perfectly at home among towering redwoods and eagles and hawks.  Why weren’t these Devastators working on a Tuesday afternoon?  How do they pay for their gas-guzzling monster SUV and toddlers and dogs and summer weekdays in the park? 

Of course we know the answer:  Stunning Devastators work no job, spend every day in parks, supported entirely by millionaire fratboy husbands.  How can young fratboys afford Suicide Blondes, monster SUV’s, suburban McMansions, toddlers, dogs, world cruises, yachts, moorage fees, country club memberships?   These fratboys are global corporate executives exploiting surplus value of workers:   Landed Gentry, same as Victorian English Landed Gentry, somehow win fortunes without working, then have the nerve to arrogantly boast:  “I don’t work!  I own!”

Reluctantly I leave the park and take the bus downtown where office workers get on at rush hour:  Ugly, obese, stressed, exhausted Worker Class of every race and age squeeze onto packed rush hour buses for the nightly nightmare commute.  Suddenly hits me like a sledgehammer:  Overworked underpaid miserable wretches squeezing onto packed buses downtown pay surplus value to senior executives to fund trophy wives who spend summer days playing in parks with toddlers and dogs. 

Worker Class toils overtime in tedious slave jobs in windowless basement cubicles to give Property Class idle time on rolling golden hills and wildflower meadows under warm blue sky.   Victorian Apartheid: total separation of Cockney Slave Class and Idle Landed Gentry.  Which are you?




SU CASA MI CASA: 
Walk through a wealthy white suburb:   Dozens of huge sprawling 10,000 sq ft mansions, each on its own ten acre horse ranch hidden on cul-de-sacs on private roads lined with signs:   DEAD END!  WARNING!  NO TRESPASSING!  CRIMINAL WATCH!  WE REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY!  Suspicious Activity meaning urban nonwhites.

If At Risk Urban Yoof could see how the Property Class lives, they’d burn down these mansions, behead these fratboys and sell the video to Al Jazerra.  Lucky for the Property Class, At Risk Urban Yoof are too retarded to find their way out here, content to just shoot each other in Urban Crack Wars, instead of uniting to fight for this Prize Turf:  Sprawling suburban estates owned by spoiled fratboys who do no work, who live off trust funds, who don’t ever work up a sweat outside the golf course, who somehow make millions on boards of evil global imperialist corporations. 

Why bother working?  Does hard work pay off?   How many dishes do you have to wash, how many work orders must you complete, how many hours of cubicle slavery wins your 10,000 sq ft ten-bedroom mansion on a ten acre horse ranch hidden on a cul-de-sac on your own private road?

Sure is a lot of Unearned Wealth sitting around going to waste on undeserving gits.  We’ll fix that.  TIME TO SHARE THE WEALTH:  Capitalism failed.  This is France in the 1780’s.  Revolution is inevitable.  Ten Worker Class families can comfortably live in each Property Class mansion. 

Word to Arrogant Fratboy in yo sprawling mansion on yo ten acre horse ranch with yo luxury SUV and yo trophy blonde:  Yall didn’t earn yo wealth.   Yo fortune is illegitimate.   My Million Nigga Army be comin fer yall.    Yo house be our house.  SU CASA MI CASA.
