And I am sick of our culture admiring rich people like wealth means they are better people than you or I are. Our whole culture coddles rich people ,especially rich assholes.

Rich people suck for what they take is far beyond what they need
so other people are being crushed by inadequate pay because of thier selfish greed and the policies of republicans these rich fuckers own.

Fuck the rich.

but I don't hate the rich, I just believe we need to grow our culture/society's conception of what advanced means and evolve our national myth for the better, the laws will follow suit.

The pending reconciliation bill may be a positive step in that direction.

I hate thier politics,and the kind of culture they want.

Going back to the 1920's is what rich people want. Just with all the modern advancements. And I sure as hell don't want to go back to that.

I hate the hegemony and hierarchy rich people want to impose on other people. I hate how they lie,cheat,manipulate,
gaslight ,bully and exploit people's minds,hearts and thier psychology , basic needs and thier dreams and hopes.

Truth be told,all profit is,is theft.

Rich people
Stealing the days of your life,stealing your means to live,stealing your mind and in some cases your morality and inner locus of control...for profits.

They are evil hearted greedy selfish.. and corporations are sociopaths.

We dont need rich people. But they do everything they can to make us think we need them.

This should be the first thing we address if we are really serious about a progressive democracy. The. First. Thing.

(I apologise. I cannot find the only site that lets me post images on DU. I really need to write it down or something.)
