"... And now, they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street.

And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later, because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the Big Club.

And by the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe, all day long beating you over the head in THEIR media telling you what to believe and what to think and what to buy.

The table is tilted, folks, the game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care, good honest hard-working people - white-collar, blue-collar, it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on - good honest hard-working people continue - these are people of modest means - continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a fuck about them.

They don't give a fuck about you. They don't give a fuck about you. They don't care about you. At all. At all.

At all."

1. In a lot of cases this isn't even where they live. Only in America do multinational corporations....

like BP get the kind of no regulation frills to do anything they want.

He's right too this all started 30 years ago under Reagan.

4. Just taking care of family....

In 1993, (George H. W. ) Bush was awarded an honorary knighthood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath">GCB) by Queen Elizabeth II. He was the third American president to receive the honor, the others being Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan.<91>

Those clubs George was talking about that we're not in? This is the main one.....

7. If only all Americans were as smart as Carlin

dude had amazing powers of deep observation. He told us the truth, and happened to be damn entertaining while doing it. Bill Hicks was the same way. People need to seriously pay attention to what those guys had to say.

10. Bill hicks

He never made it on to my radar in his lifetime, but he seems like somebody a typical DU'er would be interested in, because he said stuff like this:

“I have this feeling man, ’cause you know, it’s just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that’s true, it’s provable. It’s not … I’m not a f**king conspiracy nut, it’s provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-f**ks who got you in there. And you’re in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, “Roll the film.” And it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it’s from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, “Any questions?” “Er, just what my agenda is.” “First we bomb Baghdad.” “You got it…

And this would be the third time I cut and pasted this into a DU post.
