Political Rant #2

This will probably piss off just about everyone I know. So be it. If it doesn’t piss you off:

1) You probably agree with, or at least understand, what I’m talking about
2) Are saying to yourself “Oh, here we go again, ANOTHER John rant!”
3) I’m not trying hard enough
4) All of the above
5) You don’t care, in which case, why are you reading this?

The first thing we do, lets kill all the banksters. Yeah, banksters, not bankers. Rhymes with “gangsters”. Fucking criminals, pure and simple. Fucking rob us blind with your fiat fractional reserve banking system and easy credit, privatize the profit, and socialize the debt. We get to bail you fuckers out while we sink into the mire, and you get to keep your jobs, the house in the Hamptons, the private jets, the vacations, etc. Fuck you. You are filth, leeches, scum. And then you tell my company that we need to cut people’s pay 10%, because you’re not happy with the state of the print industry. Yeah, thanks, that 10% was my monthly savings. Now we don’t save. Fuck you very much.

We have a friend that’s a bankster. Sorry, but fuck you. You have allied yourself with a den of thieves, scumbags, and liars. I’m glad climbing the corporate banking ladder has worked out for you. Clearly you understood where the money is, and pursued it. Clearly, I didn’t. Three years ago I gave myself a $24,000/year raise by starting a new job, making more than I have ever made thus far in my life. Now, I’m barely keeping up, once again. All the money I have saved in those three years has now dwindled down to nearly nothing, just trying to meet month-to-month expenses. Everything costs more this year; I can’t believe how much more we’re paying just on food alone. At least gas isn’t $4/gallon, like last year.

A great big “FUCK YOU!” to all of the politicians. You stupid fucks create the policies that ruin the lives of millions, all under the guise of helping us. You told the banksters to lend money to people that shouldn’t have been given loans to begin with, creating the current credit crisis. But hey, those banksters are clever bastards, they found plenty of ways to create clever instruments to sell off all that bad debt to a bunch of suckers, and turned a pretty profit for themselves in the process. And hey, you have us fucking milk-cows, the middle class, to bail all your asses out, when everything goes south on you. The taxpayer gets to foot the bill for the STUPID FUCKING SHIT that these parasites foist upon us, all contained in 1000+ page bills that NO ONE reads. Why do people continue to believe these bastards about ANYTHING? Can’t you see what’s going on? DIVIDE AND CONQUER, that’s what they’re doing to us. Works every time. These people are not your friends, and they don’t give a shit about you.

There’s no such thing as “TOO BIG TO FAIL”! If you don’t know how to fucking run your business, then get out! Honda and Toyota seem to be doing fairly well, despite the times, without picking my pockets. In the real world, you either stop doing what doesn’t work, changing the way you do things, or you fail and get out of the way to make room for someone who can make it work. Instead, we reward failure, and continue to put our trust in people (politicians) who have never run a successful business, or whose best qualifier on their resume is “community organizer.” These idiots wouldn’t know sound economics if it dropped on their heads.

And speaking of economics, fuck you to all of my friends that want to argue economics with me, but have little or no knowledge on the subject. Your Krugman and Marx talking-points only reveal your ignorance on the matter. Get back to me when you understand money, fiat, fractional reserve banking, monetary inflation, price inflation, the Federal Reserve System, the business cycle, the division of labor, etc. Until then, shut the fuck up, you are ignorant, pure and simple. “Sounds good” and “feels good” do not constitute good economic policy. I will not continue to argue with you. I was once like you. I believed silly crap, too, until I dug deeper and learned how things really work. You believe what you want to believe, I’ll believe what I want to believe. I’m sure you can find plenty of info to support your beliefs, as can I. I just don’t care, anymore.
