Getting hit in the face once isn't worse than getting hit in the wallet every day

Suppose you were walking down a shrubbery-lined sidewalk on a pleasant summer evening when, suddenly, a maniac jumped out from behind a bush and whapped you between the eyes with a cut-off piece of two-by-four.

As he ran away with a delirious skip and jump, whooping about how he "got another one," while you picked your busted glasses from the concrete, you'd certainly come to the quick conclusion that aggressive mad men swinging lumber at unsuspecting innocents are a bad thing that can't be safely or sanely tolerated.

Maybe we'd see the truth about capitalism if it gave us an abrupt beating instead of an ongoing, worsening shafting, the pain of which is ideologically anesthetized through FOX News distortions of exploitative reality, via all that one-way "shared sacrifice" folderol.

How many times must typical Americans get robbed and thoroughly betrayed by a "free market" system that's sinfully motivated by rapacious plunder and a total lack of conscientious social responsibility?
