To update that statement for accuracy:

"A wise and frugal man, which shall be at the mercy of government to regulate their pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall damn well cough up the bread that the government demands - this is the way shit is... deal with it or die."

And, the meta-game:

Quote from: Robert_D._Steele__reviewer

The author is especially deft at observing, documenting, and describing the combination of lunatic ignorance and blessed righteous anger within the Tea Party, at the same time that he points out they have no idea that they have been funded and directed by the very people who have stolen their economy out from under them.

I am especially impressed by the author's understanding of how Wall Street has managed to co-opt the very people they are destroying by leveraging the "shared" view of excessive government regulation. I for one absolutely believe that states should start nullifying federal laws and regulations that impair state-based businesses (e.g. butchers and cabinet-makers). What the people being destroyed do not understand is HOW they are being destroyed by Wall Street, which is essentially eating out the foundation from under them.

Quote from: Griftopia
What has taken place over the last generation is a highly complicated merger of crime and policy, of stealing and government. Far from taking care of the rest of us, the financial leaders of America and their political servants have seemingly reached the cynical conclusion that our society is not worth saving and have taken on a new mission that involved not creating wealth for us all, but simply absconding with whatever wealth remains in our hollowed out economy. They don't feed us, we feed them.

I guess I'd laugh too if only it weren't true.

This was a fun thread, might as well revive it.

I miss old DWXchzrles. Perhaps taking the dirt nap by now, or maybe he was fortunate and only got alzheimers and thus forgot his login password. Nevertheless, we miss seeing you around, old man.

This one would've surely riled up Jager.

The problem with this dickheads presidency is that people prospered like a MOTHERFUCKER during most of it. It wasn't until the final years of his reign that we felt the sting of all his corrupt and horrible policies. America still hasn't recovered. Fuck you forever, Bush.

A less shitty George. George Orwell. This quote is probably 1000 times more relevant NOW than when he originally made it.
