The dice are loaded


You can't have too much money


I'm shocked--shocked I tell you--to find out that America's wealthy elite are lining up to help re-elect the worst President in the history of our republic.

Amazing what a massive tax cut for rich people can do, isn't it?

The wealthy weren't too keen on Donald Trump in 2016, a large number of them choosing to stay on the sidelines.  But now that he's proven himself to be a first class racist, adept at stoking anti-Semitic hate, slept with a porn star while his third wife was recovering from having their child, colluded with Russia, cozies up to dictators, obstructed justice, sends out deranged tweets virtually daily, and has shown himself to be a prize idiot again and again, he's suddenly a-o.k.?

Give me a fucking break.  The wealthy in this country are not to be admired nor emulated--they care nothing for America or Americans and only serve their own interests.  They're not builders or innovators--they're parasites who are sucking our country and our planet dry.  They know nothing of compassion or shame and have all the human worth of a rabbit turd.

And they're more than happy to let our children starve if it means another nickel in their pockets.

This isn't about envy--I happily accept the fact that I don't have the talent to be ultra-wealthy.  What I am not content to accept is that I have the talent to live a a financially comfortable life and yet I live month to month like a vast majority of my fellow Americans.  And the reason I and so many of us do is because the wealthy have bought the stairway to financial heaven through our government (right to work for less laws, the war against unions, their fight against universal healthcare, giving U. S. Cabinet posts to unqualified people like Betsy Devos only because they're wealthy, owning the republican party) are unwilling to let us achieve our fair share because it means less for them.

Supporting a horrible President and even worse human being simply to increase your share of an already avaricious wealth is a sure way for America to end up like France, circa 1789, with an incredibly unpleasant result for people of too much means.

Fuck Donald Trump,
