I am so sick of a lot of wealthy people and their greed and self-righteousness. They isolate into their “high school” worlds and expect us to revere them for their perceived greatness while influencing our elected officials. Sorry, I grew up with people that could make me laugh like the best comedian, those who played sports or an instrument as well or better than the famous, and some who started successful and honest businesses with a high school diploma that affords them a good life.
The Wealthy.
Religious bullshit artists becoming wealthy selling invisible beings and magic by explaining a free book of fiction to others to fool themselves into believing they make them moral while ignoring their own morality. Many of these people are onboard with the destruction of human life and the planet so the wealthy can do as they please – Project 2025 anyone? They can sell their man-made death and destruction as God’s plan with a sarcastic nod of great wisdom that they predicted it and are wholly right in their personal beliefs that they feel should be forced on everyone else in the guise of saving us from ourselves. How many of these people have been caught abusing children and other crimes? It appears abusing young girls is a past time of other wealthy men too, but I digress…
How about those high payed social media influencers, the new up and coming wealthy assholes, who damage the personal property of and/or cause disruption to every day people’s lives with the attitude that they can simply pay them off with money for using them? Or those scumbags who sell lies and misinformation to gullible and paranoid people pretending to be news media for their personal agendas.
And the worst, the business parasites! People who mostly buy their way into wealth with their parents money or become wealthy by their connections who then feed off the real inventors, business creators, and labor of their employees. Many of these people grow up to plunder our resources through political bribery and propaganda while doing everything in their power to make others suffer for not being as wealthy. You people will die from pollution, rampant disease, climate related disasters, and loss of food and clean water just like the rest of us, even if a little slower.
The Voter.
For the people who vote with emotion based on the lies and misinformation spread by the wealthy and their political pawns, you obviously don’t understand the history of our government programs and agencies. I wonder if you understand the constitution or how the government works at all. Do you even know about the gilded age and the robber barons or the death of millions caused by a lack of women’s health care, work place safety, or vaccines and serious tracking of disease outbreaks? We now have a wealthy man running the health department who condones drinking unpasteurized milk and thinks the measles outbreak is due to poor diet. This is how these people view you.
We the people mostly caused these things to be created over time, from mothers, to employees, to doctors. We wanted regulations, because corporations and industries were destroying the environment, our safety, our legal protections, and our financial security. The people protested, lobbied, and held our politicians and business leaders to account in order to change things for the good of the people. That was not purely government, but sympathetic or fearful elected politicians listening to us or understanding the needs of the people and the country.
Regular Americans got us women’s rights, civil rights, and the ability to help vulnerable Americans, including Veterans. The country was literally built by immigrants and WWII would have been lost without women!
You are not fixing the government, you are handing it to the wealthy while destroying what millions of Americans fought to get for future generations, including you. Instead of demanding more good from your government, built upon the good that was done already, you decide that you don’t get enough and allow the robber barons to reverse all that good for your selfish want only to find that they are not working for you either. It’s not like you were not warned or they didn’t prove their intentions to you for years.
We need these people out of our government. We, the people need to drive our government again, and through that, our employment, freedom, equality, and security. The biggest reason to get rid of them? Our fucking humanity. Look around, all you see is us openly hating and fighting each other and harshly judging our differences. The wealthy with their politicians did that, not the people.
The Geniuses.
Here are three big names, who now have a lot of control in our government and our lives. This is their advice to us.
“You just need to work harder…” – Bill Gates
Low income people work hard labor and\or multiple jobs just to feed their families. The middle class work eighty or more hours per week in corporations that want more and more productivity while taking more benefits and security away from their employees. Some of these middle class folks work multiple jobs too. Most parents still don’t have the money for private schools, Ivy league colleges, and savings to help their children start businesses that may or may not pan out.
The vast majority of poor and middle class people cannot afford to pay people to care for their children, clean their homes, do the grocery shopping and cooking, yard work, or home maintenance either. That is work too, and that takes up a lot of free time.
In many cases, the wealthy make loans, school, business, and even employment more difficult for the people you say need to work harder in order to become like you, trapping many in poverty through politics that are increasingly catering to the wealthy, causing many Americans to work way harder in life.
I do commend you, Gates, as you are one that does try to help us regular folks.
“You got to have great desire to earn money…” – Jeff Bezos
All impoverished and middle class people desire making money or you would not have employees, nor would you have your wealth. The country, and your greedy businesses, would not exist without the people desiring money, employment income, investment dividends, and the products you sell that they spend their hard earned money to possess. We would simply be devoid of an economy, but at least you didn’t buy your business, which you started in a blue state threatened by your recent political funding.
“You have to devote all your time to work…” – Elon Musk
First off, people need to shit, eat, and sleep. Are you above that? It is impossible to devote all our time to work. Either way, most of the population does devote a large portion of their time to work or we wouldn’t be able to buy your shit cars. For someone who thinks we are worthless scum who do nothing, let’s see what you do?
You seem to have unlimited time to do drugs, vacation, party, impregnate random women all while ordering workers to destroy our government so you can hoard more money and power over people you think are beneath you. We know your ultimate desire is to one day rule the world with AI and robots while killing off all the people you do not think deserve to exist, but you are full of shit.
Yet another bad businessman who bought his way into wealth using the hard work of others so he can pretend that he is a genius, like his new “bought” boss.
The Real Productivity.
A lot of super wealthy people believe they are productive while the rest of us are just lazy. Sorry, the mostly “not wealthy” people built everything in this country and work harder than you. Sitting in meetings, talking to crowds, and emailing staff who do all the real work for you is not work, nor is making the people’s lives harder to maximize your personal wealth when you have more than needed.
You are a bunch of mostly lucky fucks with unhealthy money hoarding and/or narcissistic personality disorders. Without the people, you would not have your wealth, your businesses, or your political influence. Without the people, we would not have this country. The Kings, Queens, and aristocrats of the past sure as fuck didn’t come here to die carving it out or in wars to protect it, it was an investment for them. But the wealthy sure did come later to exploit the people who did, and you wealthy assholes did a great job making the majority of us dependant on you. Now you have the power, once again, to take away from us for your benefit, and you are happy to do so. I cannot look up to that or your advice on how to become like you.
The “Right Leaning” Wealthy Saving You.
Amazingly, with all the supposed theft of tax payer dollars found by Musk, not one indictment, arrest, or conviction has occurred. Has there even been investigations? Yet the people who say our tax money is being stolen and wasted have no problem using it to attend sporting events, dinner parties, working from home, or enriching themselves on our dime.
If I am paying tax to help people, that is not entitlement, that is a form of charity that betters the country. If I pay a portion of my income into social security and medicare, that is not an entitlement, that is a benefit. Will you charge me less for these things if privatized? Are the super wealthy tax breaks and money hoarding so important that they must destroy the government and lie to voters for more at the people’s expense? If we pay tax and you do not, why is our tax spending and usage so important to you?
And explain to me, how the hell is doing another study on vaccines for hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to validate the conspiracy theory of one man cost-effective or efficient? How about extorting a state, forcing them to spend tax payer dollars to rip out a street, memorial, and signs many people wanted, because the president and his appointees are mostly racists? Is that good use of our money?
Final Thoughts.
- Stop giving to charity to make you and your companies look as if you give a shit about us. You want to give? Pay your fair share of taxes so we can collect our social security and have health care as a right and not a control mechanism.
- Follow and support the regulatory, consumer, investment, monopoly, and fair trade laws that protect us all.
- Pay your employees better with more workers’ rights and benefits. You can afford it if you stop paying CEOs what they are not worth. Bonus: You and your CEOs will still be more wealthy than most of the people in your country.
- Give all Americans their voice back by getting out of our government and our elected officials pockets. Imagine the money you will save not investing in politics and government influence. Plus, more people around the world will respect you.
- For you short sighted fuckers who like to rape the planet and destroy our environment by ignoring newer and better alternatives. Stop destroying our home. As the wise say, take only what you need and give back what you can.
