He is an interesting man. But that is utter bullshit. Who is they? They want this, they want that... The they are Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and all the guys who came out of nowhere. And they got to the top by being savy enough to see the world about them. Whatever the top is. Lash out and try to blame someone for your position. Learn about the frikin world around you. Enable yourself to fit into any situation and roll with all the changes that we face. Make yourself valuable. And then no one owns you. No one tells you what to do. Start your own business, or become too valuable to be let go. You determine your fate more extensively. And then get your butt into office and change things instead of blaming THEY. This country is far from perfect. But enough of the crybaby THEY, THEY, THEY. The blame game is so old. Change it if you dont like it. Who the fck wants to be helpless. Quit griping and do something, get involved. Damn it George. Get into politics if you understand so much. |
It's a lot more like what George said than like what PGRDN said.Unless your very high tech,your screwed when you work for somebody else.It's all set up for business owners.They get to pay as little as possible,and then the gov't taxes the worker on that shitty pay.Then when he struggles,they tell him to get a "better" job.This was the job that was supposed to be "good."Meanwhile,the business owner gets to write off the cost of his 2 cars etc. etc. on his taxes,and then starts telling the worker that he now has to take another 8th of his wages for the medical coverage.See,that's a new one.Businesses used to pay the medical,but now it's somehow more and more on the worker.The "somehow" is because it's designed for them(the owners.) So,don't work for somebody else. It's not set up to work for you that way.The exception is working like PGRDN does(for a school district etc. that isn't out to make a profit.) He isn't getting ripped off,and so he thinks others get a fair deal(they don't.)Capitalism is set up for people to be able to capitalize off of the poor position of other people.That's the part of Carlin that's right,and PGRDN is right about owning a business.

It's the thought that counts. I got a thorn in my paw and it got infected. The Forest Fairy Princess pulled it out. I told her..."Hey..that ain't the thorn...but I already feel better!! So if you think YOU'RE tired........ |
I'm in a fantastic mood today. I just got a check for thirty-six hundo in the mail!
