A note of appreciation from the rich Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery. On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it — you're a member of the working caste. Sorry! As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America. Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us — and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way. But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people. Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work! You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold." Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against.... We continually push your wages down by invoking "foreign competition," "the law of supply and demand," "national security," or "the bloated federal deficit." We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. And to give you an occasional break from the monotony of our daily economic blackmail, we allow you to participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to you ordinary folks as "elections." Happily, you haven't a clue as to what's really happening — instead, you blame "Aliens," "Tree-hugging Environmentalists," "Niggers," "Jews," Welfare Queens," and countless others for your troubled situation. We're also very pleased that many of you still embrace the "work ethic," even though most jobs in our economy degrade the environment, undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your one and only life right out of you. We obviously don't know much about work, but we're sure glad you do! Of course, life could be different. Society could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You and others like you could collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don't know that. In fact, you can't even imagine that another way of life is possible. And that's probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our system — robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think and act for yourself. So we'd truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. Thanks so much for "knowing your place" — without even knowing it! I got this by chance on Scroogle's Random Text Program and thought it cute enough, true enough, and pungent enough to be worth sharing.

Maybe if you got out of bed in the morning, showered, shaved, dressed properly (that is with your ass-crack not showing), and went to work every day, things just might be better for you. I'm not sure - but, you might want to give it a try. Good luck with it.
You are most welcome.

Sad but true.
Just a thought for those who think that a trip to the mail box once a month is all that they need to survive.
I would question that statistic. As pointed out by Mark Twain (quoting Benjamin Disraeli): That number might be true for the Income Tax but the Income tax, including that levied on business, accounts for only about 37% of tax receipts. The rest of the taxes are folded, and buried, into the prices of the goods and services people buy and use. Those taxes fall most disproportionately upon the Working Class as most of their income is spent for basic survival. There are roughly 32 taxes levied upon the production of a loaf of bread by the time it hits the grocer's shelf. If you pay sales tax you are then paying tax on tax. The Devil is always in the details. While it might be true that in absolute dollars higher income earners pay more, as a percentage of total income higher taxes fall most heavily upon those who eke out a bare existence. As well the morality of saying that "such and such" a group pays more in taxes seems to assert that one is a better person because one pays more taxes. That I do not agree with. As well the upper .01 percent pays virtually no taxes because of loopholes manufactured for their benefit. The bulk of taxes are paid by people in the 60,000 to 500,000 tax brackets. However, the point of posting this, from my point of view, is to skewer the blue blood Robber Baron Scum who feel it their right to use the general populace as sub-person chattels existing solely for their benefit.

During the depression we had a mailbox but the mailman seldom stopped. Penny postcards, remember?????
I cant verify it, as I only heard it rattled off an hour ago on CNBC. But lets be generous and double or even triple the # of $250k a year earners. Lets also reduce their 'contribution' to 70% of the total revenue. Given these conservative #s, the point would still be valid re; Os income tax redistribution scam; it's *impossible* to balance the books on the backs of the 'rich.' This steaming pile of tax related spending is going to hit each and every schmuck square in the wallet, and h/she won't have anyone to blame but themselves and the MSM who sold them a bag of Obama.
None that I know of. Why do you ask?
It's certainly not me. I'll have you know that I have my welfare, SSI, disability, ADC, WIC and other checks direct deposited to my account. That mail box is at least a hunnert feet away from my couch. :P
No, no, no, it aint me, bubby
Right ;-) Please send detailed instruction on how the rest of us can join in on the bennies. Thanks much. I will not hold my breath. Regards.

I just want my money back that was STOLEN from me all these years by the socialist government of the USA. Let's see, the income tax plus the SS tax you stole along with compounded interest all these years you frigging bastards. And now you're getting ready to start STEALING from our children, too, when they come of age? How blind do even some of the people here have to be not to see the elephant in the living room.

What REALLY blows me away, is that the working kids today DON'T expect to collect social security. They say as much, yet continue to willingly pay into the system. How do we as adults deal with this mindset?
If you apply, they'll come in and shovel gubmint cheese down your throat AND put on a fresh Depends as well.

They are forced to contribute by the gov and employers. How do we stop the collection of SS taxes and end the "legalized theft" in our society should be our question. [Credit to Dr. Walter Williams for quote] Callin' your congresswhore ain't gonna' help this doomed country folks. That option has been taken off the table by them. They're bought and paid for and you ain't got enough money to rent their services for even an hour. This is something my parents and their parents allowed to happen while sleeping and believing in fairy tales whilst screwing over future generations. The only defense they have is that the transfer of information was not as widespread and efficient as it is now due to the internet. But the Constitution doesn't need an internet. /rant

There's a key concept that I think you're missing. Keep in mind, we have a "debt-money" system The only way we have to get new money into the system is to borrow it. I don't think anyone can argue the fact that literally hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars have been utterly lost due to various financial shenanigans promoted by the "wizards of Wall Street". That money is gone forever. Individuals are tapped out, companies are tapped out, and so the only entity left that can borrow more money (and hence get it into circulation) is the U.S. government. Now, personally, I think this "debt-money" system combined with the Federal Reserve is a sham, a swindle and a sure-fire path to perdition for us and the rest of the planet. However, it is the system we have in place, and therefore if we are to avoid complete financial collapse under the current rules of the current game, then our only option is for the U.S. government to borrow metric tons of cash. Personally, I think a far better solution would be for the U.S. government to print "United States Notes" instead of "Federal Reserve Notes" being issued by the Fed. We even had a president try that not too long ago with Executive Order 11110. The last we saw of him, his wife was scrambling across the back of the Presidential limo trying to gather up pieces of his brains and skull... Oh yes, we live in a "free" country alright. Suuuuuure we do.

'we allow you to participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to you ordinary folks as "elections."' Politicians are supposed to be justified in imposing legislation because of their election rituals. But the political elite - politicians and politician lovers - by design always win the elections. This represents a massive and obscene systematic concentration of power. The politicians' moral problem is that legislation is not really (free market, or natural) law. Legislation is robbery. And acceptance of the morality of legislation leads to the acceptance of an anti-life culture. This is why the world's political class is a dying breed in terms of fertility.

This represents a massive and obscene systematic concentration of power. As well it represents fraud. As a consequence, by long accepted legal principle, we are, as a nation, not liable for debts incurred under a regime of fraud. Therefore if we could ever oust the banksters minions we could repudiate every scrap of fraudulently incurred debt taken on under that regime of fraud. That they know - and it scares the holy shit out of them. Not to mention that it makes their collars feel a bit tight.

There will come a time, and in the not too distant future. Their regime is already in the early stages of collapse. Like all psychotics they are not very good at predicting the results of their actions. Their planned collapse has overtaken them and they do not have an effective "Plan B". They miscalculated in releasing the internet to the general public. They miscalculated on the speed of the financial collapse - and too many people are aware of who the real culprits are and that this collapse was intentionally engineered. With Military Officers standing up courageously to challenge Oh'Bummer's legitimacy we are moving into a new game. They miscalculated in putting Oh'Bummer in office and Ron Paul, bless him, woke up a lot of people - and the way he was treated made the electoral fraud more obvious to more people. Psychotics are not very good at predicting innovation and they were blindsided by the explosive growth of information exchange. Despite the thousands of shills infesting every forum on the planet, including this one (although they have to be more circumspect) the word is still getting out. They are doomed. I look forward to seeing them hang.

Not really; it never goes into their bank account, it never leaves their bank account. It's just an accounting entry. It's no sweat at all, behaviorally, which is why the system is designed that way. People are smart enough to account for it in pay negotiations, just like they are any sales taxes when they buy something. Behaviorally it's different for employers or the self-employed. Get rid of the yin of modern corporations and the yang of the wage earning class will also vanish.
yet continue to willingly pay into the system.
