"WE OWN YOU! We will own your children, just like we owned your parents."

[originalpckelly]

"You will work for one of our corporations (large or small), and we'll own all the surpluses from your work. We'll pay you enough to live each month, after all, a dead person can't work. If they can, by some chance, we'll figure out a way to make them work too.

'Welcome to the Skull and Bones cafe, my name is Roger, I'll be your host today. Ooops! Pardon the pinky, let me just re-attach that! They're working me to the bone around here...haha, just a little dead guy joke!'

THE CREDIT MUST FLOW!

If we don't get you at work, we'll get you at your home, or rather OUR home. We are the ones who own it, after all. Obviously our rentals are our property, but so are 'your' mortgaged houses!

You will buy food from one of our stores, most of which are our corporations!

You will pay your bills every month to one of our corporations, so we're getting you there too!

And we own the clothes on your back, oh don't worry, we don't want them back, we charged $50 for your pants, but they're really only worth $2 because we made them in China (or insert undemocratic 'communist' oligarchy.) We don't want them back, we just want you to pay for them with credit cards.

And just in case you should have any left over money at the end of the month, we'll get you to spend it somehow. We can't have you save aside anything more than what's in your change jar.

Oh you're so cute! You actually think that we don't own your politicians too! Aaaawww, that's adorable!

This message brought to you by the owners of the American Empire, the friendliest empire in the world!"

1. I hope nobody thinks this is 'snark.' Truer words have never

been spoken.

2. It's no mistake that so much of America works paycheck to paycheck.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. The United States of Corporate America.

:patriot:

[terisan]

4. The company store endures.

6. Homelessness is what they use to control us.

We can feed, clothe, house and take care of the medical needs for twice as many people as there are homeless (during a normal time.) People in prison get all that, after committing a crime!

That's because they didn't commit the biggest crime of all, being mentally ill or addicted to drugs. Oddly, I seem to remember a large group of people who don't work everyday, and they live well.

5. It's Corporate Feudalism for the 21st Century.

7. Totally forgot the part about the kids:

"We will own your kids from the day they get out of college. They may end up being a barista at Starbucks, but we'll make sure they have five degrees and all the loans to pay for them. And don't forget their credit cards!

And auto-loans, because we all know you couldn't save up some of your money each year to buy a car!"

[bvar22]

9. They already own our children, grandchildren, and their children.

"They" have saddled them with $Trillions$ in national debt....enough debt to prevent the next generations from EVER instituting anything close to Universal Free Education or any other "social or developmental programs" that would lift the Working Class from indentured servitude.

The USA WILL be a debtor nation for many generations with the stateless Global Corporations and International Banks skimming ALL the profits for many generations. It is your children's money they are using to "Bail Out" the International Banks.


Now we got Your Children's Money too !
And there is not a fucking thing you can do about it !
Now THATS Bi-Partisanship".
Better get used to it !
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Elidor]

14. We will also market directly to your children at school

Through corporate underwriting and philanthropic foundations. We hook them young, so young they'll never think to wonder why there are ads and logos on everything they see for the rest of their lives. Plus, we've tied in all the merchandising to characters from their favorite cartoons and movies! From the cradle to the grave, there's not a single day that you can't be exploited for our benefit!

Now go out there and SPEND!

8. K&R....I was forced out of the credit prison in 2001.

At the time i saw it as a tragedy.

I live on almost nothing and don't pay interest to anyone for anything. Ever.

Zero debt is Schweet.

[anonymous171]

10. How can we take these fuckers down?

Re-write the 14th Amendment to define a "person" as a "human being" ? Or maybe we should try and tax them into oblivion?

[originalpckelly]

12. I'm planning something, something wonderful.

:-)

[jtrockville]

11. ... whaddaya get? another day older and deeper in debt ...

[Mnemosyne]

13. Word. KnR. n/t

16. The American Dream...er, uh, nightmare.

[PfcHammer]

17. Yeah,but by that time there will be 1000 teevee channels and

more entertainment than you can shake a stick at.
The peasants won't know the difference. :eyes:
