72. The one 'true god', eh?

If you are living in this country and you are not a complete capitalist, you are considered inferior and not worth anyone's time or effort.

You are a blight on society and should be put down, at least that seems to be the current belief when it comes to anyone not out there doing whatever it takes to get more money.

And, I do mean... whatever it takes. Because no one in power cares about the 'how', as long as you are making money for them.

And, thanks to the way they rigged our society over the past 60 or so years, the money always ends up with them.

Always.

Which, in their minds, makes them 'favored'.

And, thanks to their programming working so thoroughly... too many of us believe it as well.
