They took your jobs and gave you

toys....that is the message I want someone to have the courage to stand up and say. They took your jobs and told you that you could make a living by just sitting at a phone and selling things...the jobs of the future. After you bought the biggest house you could get and double or triple mortgaged it, put a van and a sedan in the garage with a boat and a pickup to haul it (on credit), filled the house will the right furniture and sleek appliances, bought all the electronic gadgetry so you could keep up with your friends, filled your closets with designer clothing and shoes, and acquired all the knowledge of upper crust culture you could. You learned the lifestyle of the rich and famous and you bought the bill of goods they sold you that you could live it for free while they picked your pocket clean and emptied your bank accounts and retirement plans. They laughed at your gullibility and got you to elect handpicked accomplices to write the rules to allow the theft. And now that you look around you in the devastation they left in their wake you find that your schools will take a generation to rebuild and your children are being educated to curriculums shrilled into existence by people who would have better living in the 5th century to get dead end jobs that pay minimum wage. Your manufacturing jobs were sent overseas under the guise of supporting "free markets" and streamlining operations. You are no longer self-sufficient as a nation and so hooked into other failing systems that all drop like a stone in disaster.



Rolled out with the media seasons and on cue, they sold you out. Yes, they gave you toys while they took away your financial security, your personal wellbeing, and your rights. Now what are you going to do to get them back?
