Bend Over, America

would you rather live in a totalitarian state which doesn’t dilly-dally round the truth, pretending that citizens have freedom, feeding them the illusion that they will not be crushed more & more each day & squandered by the rich elite in charge, whose hand on the button, whose police in the pocket & whose military & private mercenary firms that both work for them, march round the libraries, the grocery stores & through the streets, dictating every bit of life which the cameras up above do not, or would you rather live in the US that has just decided, via. president hope & change (whose first campaign was largely funded by Goldman Sachs & whose cabinet is littered with its influence) & the DOJ under his reign, that Goldman need not worry its head anymore after a year of “investigation,” which to the public eye was supposedly aiming towards prosecution of the scum****s who profited off the poor during the most recent financial meltdown? um, it is a catch-22 folks. stating that there is insufficient evidence to go forth with the probe, the DOJ shows its true colors & goes belly-up, whilst almost in the same breath, Goldman shifts its funds & loyalty to romneyhood, who promises to deregulate & stop at nothing to keep business as usual from being affected by anything that pathetic & petty public might be groveling about--- so bend over, america, bend the **** over & take it right up the ass, with your teeth gritted in pain & your eyes closed, wishing Glass-Steagall was still around, wishing that this whole experiment called america had been started by somebody besides a room of rich white guys who had fled taxation in England, to come & exploit a whole new frontier.
