Paid For

WASHINGTON — In the official record of the historic House debate on overhauling health care, the speeches of many lawmakers echo with similarities. Often, that was no accident.

Statements by more than a dozen lawmakers were ghostwritten, in whole or in part, by Washington lobbyists working for Genentech, one of the world’s largest biotechnology companies.

E-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that the lobbyists drafted one statement for Democrats and another for Republicans.

Every one of those fuckers, from President Obama on down, is bought and paid for by the rich. It's not some weird Michael Moore conspiracy theory. It's just how it is.

That's what's going on in this country.. the acceleration of transferring the wealth from the poor to the rich.. and there's not a single politician who is not a cog in that machine.

There are some who oppose this, but who are simply pissing in the wind.. and there are the mighty fools for christ, who think it's a religious obligation to assure the wealth of the wealthy, even at their own expense.. and then there's the rest of us who are struggling like crazy to escape the trap of the poor and middle class to reach a point where we're not zombies, fighting for survival in shitty jobs for 60 years of our lives.

You get up in the morning.. 5 days out of 7.. and work to make somebody else rich, and you think that some vacation days and shitty health insurance makes it all worth while. You raise kids, and doom them to the same shitty existence. Day after day.. year after year..

It's really not a joke.. and not an over-statement. That's exactly what's at stake. They'll try and destroy Medicare and Social Security next, to make sure you work until your dying breath.

Not me. Not us... and not every one of those scum bag politicians that are selling out your future, and the future of your family, so that they can get enough money not to have to dance to the same toon that billions of sorry fuckers this planet over have to.

Meanwhile.. the zombies get up in the morning and go to work.. and even though you can tell them to their face that they are being played for fools.. it won't matter. That's all they know how to do anyway.
