I'm just a pissed-off worker who has finally seen the light of day!

Capitalism, by necessity, creates deprivations in some, that others may prosper. If we ALL had a million dollars, would we all be rich? NO!!! Because the prices of goods and services, under capitalism would go up accoringly to the new supply of money (capital.)

In theory, I don't have a problem with this, I do NOT believe in equal outcome. One who works harder or smarter SHOULD be rewarded for this. One who sits on his fat lazy ass and doen't work at all SHOULD NOT be rewarded with an equal outcome to those who DID work.

However, for me, the problem comes when profits are put ahead of people, and the deprivations created by Capitalism become LIFE-THREATENING to some.

When some are forced to choose between heat and food, or food and medicine...THIS IS INTOLERABLE!!

When some have enough that 500 generations of their family would never have to work, while others live in cardboard boxes...THIS IS INTOLERABLE!!

I just call it like I see it. i'm an outspoken bitch, and I am not afraid to call a pig a pig. After all, you cannot insult a pig by merely calling it a pig. And a pig is exactly what Capitalism is!

And I don't care how much lipstick you put on the pig, IT IS STILL A PIG!!
