Culture of money

In France we don’t think the future is better than now.

French people think American workers are slaves.

We are financial slaves. Fear controls the American public. American corporations control the government and they have their bottom as the goal not the well-being of all Americans. The wealthy, the mega-rich need to understand they should do their fair share because their wealth would be impossible to amass in any other country. They are possible because America is a place of unfettered capitalism. Tyranny of the majority. The Military-Industrial complex with its strangle hold on any value that does not have greed and consumption as its main component. We are taught that later we can rest. We are fed to believe that later we can enjoy life. We are led to believe that we can have quality time with our children instead of quantity. We are told we can be rich too if we work hard enough. Nope, dope. We are chasing a dangling carrot that leads no where. Working will not garner wealth. Sheesh, working will not guarantee the necessities of life. Prices rise. Cost of living elevates. Wages are stagnant, except if you are a CEO or other corporate executive. The real values of America have everything to do with MONEY and nothing to do with little else. Idolize a high school drop-out celebutante or a neurotic reality “star.” Ignore the decaying environment. Ignore as I rob you blind with a unfair income tax. Ignore a president and white house who start unjust wars based on lies. Ignore the reality of moral imperatives of arming young people with sexual education while I peddle exorbitantly priced AIDS drugs. There is no money in a cure only in the maintenance. If we are not careful America will turn into a mythological story like Atlantis or an illusion in the desert far, far from the wet, lush oasis.

(Don't worry I know that no one gets me.)
