72nd B'day Reflection On The 1%, Taxes, Guaranteed Minimum Income & "Following The Money"

Dear F,

Thanks!

And thanks for your birthday card!

72.

I've outlived my biblical allotment. 

There's food for thought...

***

Not only are the dimwits hostile to truth - and porn-hot to be deceived.

Even more surprising than wanting to be told lies --- is their specific passion for lies that are inflammatory, divisive and oddly "comforting."

"The Ruling Class" knows this Trifecta inside out, and builds its whole "wealth maintenance program" around it.

We "leftists" don't do nearly enough to spotlight the time-tested dominance-submission strategy of "Divide and Conquer."

Speaking of which... 

I just finished my most recent meme. (It's too long but some things don't reduce to bumper-sticker sound-bite.)

Follow the money.

Never -- ever -- even pause to ask why some poor bastard is getting "something for free."

No amount of reparations will ever compensate the "1%'s" deliberate degradation of the poor. 

Democratic candidate Yang is right.

The United States should have some kind of guaranteed minimum income (although, for starters, I'll settle for government-guaranteed universal healthcare).

As a measure of how far we've fallen, consider:
