Reply #205: How about socialism? [View All]

[slay]

You know, the kind you were talkin bout in your thread that just got locked? Oh wait, so that was sarcasm huh? Actually I don't believe that everyone should make the same amount of money or drive the same cars. I understand most people are greedy and selfish and we need higher paying jobs like doctors to attract people to that job. However we, the people, ALLOW the rich bastards who exploit the planet, and us as workers, to do so - and in doing so they have a responsibility to provide a basic level of sustenance. I have no problem with a cheese sandwich - but would it hurt to grill it? And what about lactose intollerant kids?

Anyways, the gap between the rich and the poor due to worker exploitation is huge - way too huge - and needs to be seriously addressed. I have no problem with some people making more money than others, but lets not kid ourselves, they make that money through exploitation of resources be it the planet or people, and they OWE us for allowing them to do that. For some reason people are all fucked in the head thinking WE owe the rich bastards something. "Thank-you Mr. Rich Bastard for allowing me to work this crappy job for minimum wage and long hours where I hardly get to see my family at all and live paycheck to paycheck while you get even richer off mine and my fellow worker's labor until yall decide to get super greedy again and collapse the economy at which time I'm fucked and my kids will end up eating government cheese...sandwiches, but really, thanks!". Ugh. I think this is what alot of people are actually pissed off about in the great "cheese sandwich" debate and are they are using the cheese sandwich as a symbol of that. Or maybe it's just me. :rofl:
