The Pick-Pocket Party

[Blue State Bandit]

You know that card in your wallet (that should be in a safer place), the one with all your ‘savings” on it? You know, for your retirement; to pay the firefighter to save your life and pay those politicians to administrate OUR country? What if someone picked your pocket and took THAT card?

This is what is happening right now. The “Republicans” are trying to relieve us of our Social Security cards. And it’s a tag-team operation.

The mark (us) is distracted by something shinny or otherwise enticing introduced by one player, while the other player moves on your assets. A brush with the pick-pocket is light handed, often gone unnoticed, if barely registered at all. And even if you’re lucky enough to be snapped out of it by the event, the culprit would most likely have melted into the sea of hectic humanity; hypnotized by this institutionalized version of the “Big Distraction”.

We pay taxes to pay for the roads that we pay the police to keep safe on, the city to keep clean, and the feds to promote a safe, fair, and reasonably honest marketplace; for goods services and ideas. My taxes are meant to finance the operation and implementation of our Constitutional Democratic Republic.

But it seems that people claiming to be “Republicans” are lifting your Social Security card while the rest of us are busy watching the latest shiny object; be it the quaff of the Donald, the quack of Gaddafi, or how much you can get from Gold Line for your trip to the Beck Revelation Bunker Blow-Out Sale. Duck and cover suckers! I Notice how it puts the booty in just the right position.

I say “…claiming to be…” because, as juxtaposed as I may be on so many positions with run of the mill republicans or conservatives, they will be, for the most part, victims right alongside of the rest of us.

So what is it that they are taking? Your Social Security card would make for a great metaphor by itself, but it is more literal than you may think. It’s not just your Social Security that they are after.That card is my proof of ownership. I got it because I am a citizen and I pay taxes. My job, my vote, and my identity as an American are made possible by that card. All are now being taken from us.

They cheapen our work so that we do more for less. Outsourcing, deregulation, and union busting has made it near impossible to realize the American dream. They actively suppress voting with fake mailers, and investigations; racist legislation and biased judication from stacked districts and benches. Not to mention the fishy smells from Florida and Ohio… oh yeah, and now Wisconsin. And don’t get me started on our identity. Silence Dogood wouldn’t last a minute around here. Our good name has been dragged thru the muds of the third world for the benefit of these borderline criminal organizations international corporations for decades now. And they know everything about us thru our cookies and our iPhones.

So next time you see a “Republican” running for office, or bobble-head bloviating about Socialism or birth certificates, with their fake outrage and bag full of shinny objects, speak out because there’s probably more than a few Pick-Pockets in the crowd.

GET YOUR HANDS OUT MY POCKET!
