The late, great comic George Carlin did a 3-min./12-sec. comedy skit a few years back.
.
It basically encapsulated the entire thrust of what the Occupy Wall Street movement was all about.
.
Only a handful of people actually have a say in the affairs of our country and that is because they own literally everything —> land, buildings, corporations, banks AND most importantly, the AIR WAVES!
.
They therefore OWN all of the rest of us. They have us by the BALLS!
.
They tell us what to think, how to react, what to focus on or not.
.
The TOP 1% know only too-well that, for the most part, MOST of us will do as we’re told and not bother thinking about any BIG PICTURE. They know full well that the 99% of the rest of us are too bogged down with our own respective daily dramas – like survival – and that we will never mount any real concerted threat directed at their monopoly of power.
.
We, in effect, play the part of the victim all too well. We allow the mighty plutocratic machine to ram us up the arse continuously and relentlessly with that big Red, White & Blue Shaft. And, we don’t really work up much of a lather to offer up a real objection or complaint. We can only muster up a tinny whine and just continue to muddle along.
.
Having lost so many hard fought rights and privileges over the last 30-35 years to these Plutocrats they are now going full-bore after our Social Security & Carlin suggests that they will get that as well.
.
He closes his skit with a complete refutation of the so-called AMERICAN DREAM. He intones: “It’s A Dream, Because You Have To Be ASLEEP TO BELIEVE IT!
