Read this after my other post, "Part 1"
I'm here to tell you guys, you do not have to feel guilty about spending 80 dollars on basketball tickets every once in a while. Because Mitt Romney has a lot more money than that.
You see folks, paying 80 USD to go sit in a climate controlled building and watch some guys throw a ball around for a few hours is not the same as owning your own private jet! Not to some homeless, war-torn refugees in third world countries it's not. You just ask 'em. They'll tell you there's a world of difference between going to a Lakers game at Staples Center, and flying on a jet. My god, the fact that people like Romney can't even see the difference just makes my freaking blood boil..
My fellow citizens, we need to start RECOGNIZING, that the cut off for being rich and greedy, is just above our heads. It is definitely NOT what we all make. Basketball games are nothing! Are you kidding me?? We are the 99%.
We here in the American middle class, we deserve to go watch a basketball game every now and then. With 20 dollar parking and 10 dollar nachos, let's say it's about a hundred bucks by the end of the night. Per person. So what? Wall Street executives pay $1,000 for spa treatments! I'm not kidding, $1,000!! I've personally met folks in rural China who toil away in poverty, picking cabbage all day long for less than 2 dollars per day. And what these 9 year olds have told me is that $100 for a basketball game is pretty damn reasonable. A $1,000 spa treatment? That's just downright insulting.
It's time to start calling out the REAL hypocrites out there, and pointing out who the REAL selfish bastards are!
....I'm talking about rich people of course.
The people making over 250,000 a year!
Or is it 400,000 now? I forget which one Obama decided was the cut off for wealth. But whatever it is, WE damn sure don't make it! We aint no 1%!!!!!
Sure, you make $50,000 a year, you drive a Honda and wear Nikes. But that's nothing. That's barely surviving. Mitt Romney owns a YACHT. And if you ask any starving Ethiopian out there, driving a Honda and having a yacht are not even in the same ballpark. NOT IN THE SAME BALLPARK.
Wake up people. Realize what's going on. We are on the side of virtue. There's a lot of famine out there, a lot of unclean water causing a ton of disease and death, war, and some seriously brutal conditions. And we all know this, because we can relate. 65,000 a year barely gets you by! It's time we end the ridiculous lap of luxury that jerks like Mitt Romney and stupid George Bush get to live in while we suffer. How INCREDIBLY ****ING SELFISH CAN YOU BE???
... I'm talking about rich people of course.
Stop examining yourself. Start examining your neighbor to see if he's making more than you. I'm working to get a hotline set up for reporting people you suspect make more than you think they should. If you have to scrape by at $40,000 per year, let us know! We're gonna find someone who makes at least twice that, and by golly we are gonna do what is right, just, compassionate, and HUMANITARIAN ON A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL... We're gonna move some of his money over to you.
I know in the past I've said conservative things. I've said things like "The focus shouldn't be on someones bank account, it should be on having strong cultural values. We should care more about teen pregnancy rates than Mitt Romney's tax returns." Well I've had a change of heart! Now I've seen the light, and by god I am a liberal. I'm done telling people what to do to help themselves. It's time to start telling them how much they owe me. I'm gonna let them know that I am a very intellectual, philosophical person, I wear all the clothes and the shoes and go to the same coffee shops that all the really smart anti-establishment guys go to, I totally fit right in, and I know just exactly how much everyone should have the right to make, and that its pretty clear to anyone paying attention, that the so-called "right to earn" as you please ENDS... just above MY tax bracket.
We're all paying, what, 30 bucks a month for internet? If that could keep one starving child alive in Gabon, just imagine what Romney's Time Warner package could do??? He probably has 3D capability and all the movie channels, and he could probably keep TEN kids alive per WEEK! So if you think about it, it really makes no sense for us to give up what we have to give more back. If we can only save one life per month, it's really kinda silly for us to bother when comparatively Mitt Romney could save more. I mean, really silly when you think about it.
A lot of stuff we buy every day comes from very poor countries. But I'm not tryin to hear about our "responsibility to give back to a world we've gained so much from." MOTHER****ER, WE DONT MAKE 400,000 A YEAR! ONLY 60K! OR 45! OR 90! ****ing peanuts, I spit on the jerks like Romney who hold me down. He should be LIFTING ME UP TO BE AS RICH AS HIM. I am a moralist, and I want equality. I want to have everything he does, and that's pretty damn virtuous of me. My god I am such an intellectual humanitarian. For gods sake, I bought these Toms shoes knowing full well Tom would donate a pair to someone also. Which is why I did it. What has Mitt Romney ever givendeded to charities? Tens of millions? Oh, so Mr. Fancypants probably thinks he's better than me then??? SCREW HIM.
We're not the bad guys. Basketball games, Hondas, Nikes, Time Warner Internet, Britta water filters in our Frigidaire refrigerators? These pale in comparison to what George Bush's Wall Street Cronies have. They have fish tanks in their living rooms the size of my living room. It's bullshit, that's what it is. It's about god damn time that we did what is RIGHT. That we fight for EQUALITY.
Disease in Africa. Starvation in China. Violence in South America, war and oppression in the Middle East. We as liberals need to get together, and D.E.M.A.N.D. that these greedy, heartless, avaricious, demonic bastards who own corporations start doing what is RIGHT - and giving more of their money to middle class Americans.
We are so much smarter than Republicans and have much better morals. We truly are the definition of selfless, unlike those guys on Wall Street. Why can't those greedy guys be as compassionate as we all are??? Of course they never could, because they're not as hip and intellectual as we are.
We're the good guys. We're the humanitarians who wanna change the world for the greater good. So what we go to basketball games. It's not the same as having a yacht. It's like night and day.
Cancel those trips you've booked to go volunteer in Mayanmar. Let stupid conservative rich bastard Tim Tebow go on those missions to help poor children in third world countries. WE'LL expose how selfish he is!
Stay entitled, my friends.
Quantum Probability bless the 99%....
