13. Right! Only corporations are right when they're greedy!

Sun Aug 2, 2015, 03:49 PM

Aug 2015

They’re not for education for our children, they’re for greater membership, greater benefits, greater pay for their members.”

I love this line of reasoning. Greed is good when it comes to ownership paying labor as little as possible, because that's some kind of immutable natural law we should all celebrate. Money demanding money is A-OK.

But people -- phew, no way. If you represent actual human beings seeking their own self-interest, that is COMMUNISMS! Or possibly witchcraft, or something.

Remember when the OWS people were supposed to be hypocrites because they had computers? Because you can't be against inequality and also own anything yourself. Just like you can't receive public assistance and also be able to afford a cell phone, or a pair of shoes.

Why do we -- more importantly, why does anyone -- listen to this horse apple nonsense -- for a millisecond?

Christy, if he shouldn't be in jail for for the "Bridgegate" scandal, or the Sandy money shenanigans -- and that seems wildly unlikely -- should at least be laughed off the national stage.

The fact that he hasn't been yet is what is wrong with basically everything.
