Dreams and Illusions 11/29/2007 8:32:36 AM
The American dream is a hoax One discovers that to be successful in America one has to have money. Without money you are nothing. So you start a potato chip manufacturing business and think you've got it made. You soon discover that the supermarket shelves are filled with one or two major products, and you think, I'll put my product beside theirs and it will sell just as well. But a surprise is in store for you. You discover that the corporate crooks have bought the shelf space and paid off the store managers. Sam tells you to talk to Joe, and Joe tell you to talk to Harry, and finally Joe tells you to take your shit and get out. Persistently though, you go back for more punishment. You ask Joe what the problem is. He then tells you to call Sam, and Sam asks you for 33% of your business. This is the crooked system of capitalism. Any new business attempting to enter the market is blocked out by corporate crooks, and they use bribery and slander at will. If you do manage to slip your product on the shelf the corporate crooks will lower their prices below cost until you are out of business. Yes, they laugh all the way to the bank. This is the true America; crooks and hoodlums at every turn. The evil, greedy system of capitalism has rotted their souls, and they've been heard to say that "I wish all my competition would die." He who dies with the most toys wins. And there you have it. The essence of the greatest Democracy on earth!
