I just gave blood for the 22nd time today. I have to do 3 more, and then I get a different plastic card that says "25" on it, and a pin. Maybe a free pen, that'd be sweet. On the way home, as usual, I was thinking about the wealth disparity. By the way, I have a job interview in a couple hours, but here's what I'm going to say.
People can do whatever they like, but one thing I am not is an admirer.
My mom, and many adults, like to talk about the big houses they see, or they know someone who owns a mansion and has three cars. I don't like doing this in front of my mom, but I shake my fist as if I'm masturbating. Because that is what admiring the 1% is all about: MASTURBATION!
Either keep your dreams to yourself, or kidnap the rich people, murder their families, and live in their houses until the cops arrive. That is pretty much the only way many members of the 99% will ever be "residents" of a mansion, or have access to fancy sportscars. OMG he owns a BMW? GREAT! A lot of BMW drivers like to "prove" something, that they're better than people below them. This is evident when they weave back-and-forth between cars on the highway without using indicators. It's a form of contempt.
You know, back in 2008, I saw an internet slideshow on "Top 10 CEO's who earned huge bonuses during this recession." I could see their smug expressions. Guess why they don't get murdered on the street?
The answer: they aren't photographed with their many bodyguards. They know for a fact that they have total contempt for everyone below them, and everyone below them has murderous hatred for them. Personally, I wouldn't feel bad about plunging a knife into the neck of someone like Donald Trump. I don't care how philanthropic he is, he can afford to be 700x more philanthropic. A lot of CEO's only give to charity either for tax breaks, or just to get people off their backs. "I already donate $10 million a year, fuck off!" So they need bodyguards at all times because they know all it takes is one person to end it all. All their money can't protect them from a severed carotid artery.
Warren Buffett has a great name for those who didn't even accumulate their wealth from the bottom: "The Lucky Sperm Club". Most of us were born to middle or lower-class parents. But some people were born into exceptional circumstances and have never had to work a day in their life. Kim Kardashian's mother recently attacked Jon Hamm for calling her daughters "stupid", by saying "They've run their own chain of stores ever since they graduated from high school, they're not stupid." Stupid bitch doesn't want to admit: they had a helping hand, their family's wealth.
It's easy to say that you're entrepreneurial when you've inherited the capital required to start it, and never had to beg a bank for a loan.
Fuck the 1%. Your views, please.
