There\u2019s a reason education SUCKS, and it\u2019s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It\u2019s never going to get any better, don\u2019t look for it, be happy with what you\u2019ve got. Because the owners of this country don\u2019t want that. I\u2019m talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions \u2014 forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. YOU DON\u2019T. You have no choice. You have OWNERS. They OWN YOU. They own EVERYTHING. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations; they\u2019ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State houses, the City Halls; they\u2019ve got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They gotcha by the BALLS. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying \u2014 lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want \u2014 they want MORE for themselves and less for everybody else. But I\u2019ll tell you what they don\u2019t want. They DON\u2019T want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don\u2019t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They\u2019re not interested in that, that doesn\u2019t help them. That\u2019s against their interests. That\u2019s right. They don\u2019t want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they\u2019re getting FUCKED by system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin\u2019 years ago. They don\u2019t want that. You know what they want? They want OBEDIENT WORKERS. OBEDIENT WORKERS. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passably accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they\u2019re comin\u2019 for your SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY. They want your fuckin\u2019 retirement money. They want it BACK. So they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They\u2019ll get it. They\u2019ll get it ALL from you sooner or later \u2014 \u2018cuz they OWN this fuckin\u2019 place. It\u2019s a big CLUB. And YOU AIN\u2019T IN IT. You and I are NOT IN the big club. By the way, it\u2019s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long, beating you over the in their media telling you what to believe \u2014 what to think \u2014 and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-workin people \u2014 white collar, blue collar \u2014 doesn\u2019t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-workin people CONTINUE \u2014 these are people of modest means \u2014 continue to elect these RICH COCKSUCKERS who don\u2019t GIVE a fuck about them. They don\u2019t give a fuck about you, they don\u2019t GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. T HEY DON\u2019T CARE ABOUT YOU \u2014 AT ALL. AT ALL. AT ALL. You know? And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care \u2026 that\u2019s what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that\u2019s being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth \u2014 it\u2019s called the American Dream \u2026 \u2018cuz you have to be asleep to believe it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
