They've Just About Done It!

They've just about done it.  The rich have just about figured out how to take ALL of the fun out of the lives of the poor.  That'll teach those poor people!  Who do they think they are being poor anyway?

The poor can no longer afford to go to a concert to listen to some music.  $289.05 for concert tickets, $50 for a carton of cigarettes, heck, just staying alive is hard enough these days.  Some of you might laugh this off as ridiculous, but until you've ended up living off of nothing but a fixed income from the government when you are sick and elderly, you have no idea how serious this is.

During the Great Depression in 1929 one of the things people could do to ease their minds was go to a movie.  It was cheap.  Now it's $15+ for a ticket, $10 for a bag of popcorn and $5 for a drink.  The price of gas is well above what it should be adjusting for inflation, too.  Adjusting for inflation, what used to be a $1.00 movie ticket in 1968 SHOULD now be $6.84 according to the CPI Inflation Calculator.  Just about every minutia of entertaining value has priced itself well outside of the ability of those with a meager income to afford.  The "Sin Tax" can be thanked for a lot of that in Texas.

People who aren't morons aren't going to gamble away their money, but many of the poor DO play the lottery hoping to one day be able to climb out of the hole of deep poverty.  It's not only a form of entertainment to them but a last shred of hope, albeit false hope.  Yes, one lucky someone heavily tied to the Mafia or the Texas Government might hit the lottery but the rest of the poor fools are just throwing their money, that they didn't have to spend, away.

 So, what is a person to do?  Well, he could turn to drinking I suppose.  A six pack is still within reach of most people who aren't having to deal with dangerous and expensive medications.  That makes sense, right?  Turn the poor into alcoholics?  That won't cost the community anything.  Besides, what poor don't die in a drunk driving accident might get to be arrested for cheap labor for the rich.

My Growing Ignorance

Well, it has finally happened. Between the dementia, the chemtrails, the nanobots they injected into me when they gave me the flu vaccine, and God knows WHAT they put into me when they did my heart surgeries, my mind has diminished to the level of a conservative Texas Republican. I now think liberals are stupid, Obama is a Manchurian Candidate probably born in Kenya, and can't wait until Jesus comes and burns all of those gays who are trying to get married. I want to see the borders closed to prevent Ebola and other foreign diseases from entering the country. I want to personally oversee Mayor Annise Parker being thrown into the pit of hell for demanding preachers' sermons. I now call CNN the Clinton News Network. I think every child in America should be issued a handgun at birth. I think that national service just gives more control to the evil government who wants to take our hard earned money and that it's an invitation to totalitarianism. I think all government handouts are socialist, especially the ones that help ME.

I can't trust my thoughts and memories because the government may be manipulating them through microwaves transmitted from HAARP. I dare not watch the news because the airwaves are filled with transmissions to make me think evil, vile thoughts. What kind of thoughts? Thoughts about vile things like sex, drugs, rock and roll, and communism. Even so, I can't be sure that the government isn't beaming thoughts directly into my brain via satellite. What if every memory of my past was placed there by the government to forward their evil agenda to bring about the New World Order? The only things I can trust are Texas, true Texans, cattle ranching, and farming. I might even start trusting big oil if things get any worse. Whoops! I think it just happened.

Thank God for the Koch brothers standing up against government regulation. Thank God for fracking which will bring us the oil we need to drive our big SUVs. I'm joining the Tea Party and we're going to take America back! We will get rid of abortion, make everyone attend a good Christian church at least once a week, bring back petticoats, bobby socks, school dances, and good ol' nookie in the back seat at drive-ins. We will get women out of the workforce and put them back in the houses cooking, cleaning, and watching the kids while we're at work. I just haven't figured out how a man is going to support his wife and kids on one job yet. I'm sure that Jesus will provide if I pray hard enough.

It's a good thing that I trust millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires to make the proper decisions regarding my bank account. They deserve to run the government since they're smart enough to make all of that money. THEY'LL take our country away from those evil commie liberal socialist scumbags! Long live capitalism! God bless the Koch brothers!

AT&T U-Verse's Remarkable Customer Service

I am here to testify about AT&T U-verse's remarkable customer service.  After only six years of phone calls to Customer Service, boundless effort in checking the wiring in my house, disappointing visits by morons who claimed that it must be my cats or dogs, AT&T U-verse's Customer Service promptly sent a repairman who knew what he was doing straight out!  Wouldn't you know it?  Just as I had suspected all along, it was not on my end after all.  They had a bad unit at the service box a few streets down.

You, too can experience the fast, reliable customer support of AT&T U-verse simply by subscribing to their services.  You, too will probably never have to wait for more than six years to have a problem resolved.  You will never have to go without being blamed for doing something wrong on your end, having problems blamed on your pets, or many of the other fascinating stories I have been given over the years.  Won't you please sign up with them now?
