I listen to POTUS (People of the US) on Sirus radio.
The radio personalities on this channel all share the same belief. Government is here to protect us all from making mistakes, government is here to create jobs, government is here to take care of us in our old age.
Whether it’s from taking a loan we can’t repay, buying a chunk of cheese that may be bad, or investing in the wrong retirement fund. It’s up to the government to save us from ourselves.
These people actually believe that the government cares about the little people, that everything they do is because they have our best interests in mind. The callers? It’s all over, these drones believe this drivel.
It’s mind blowing to listen to the growing majority of people who don’t understand that to learn, you must first make a mistake and if you don’t learn, then you fail.
It’s the fucking Barney generation. That stupid progressive liberal purple dinosaur has taught our children that actions have no consequence, big government is the answer.
It’s over.

Corporations are legal fictions created by the State to shield executives from liability… It’s like if I had a little hand-puppet, and I went to rob a bank, and the hand-puppet held the little gun and told people to hand over all the money, and then the hand-puppet grabbed the money and ran out, and then I got caught and I handed the hand-puppet over the police and then the police tried the hand-puppet, put the hand-puppet in jail, and I get to keep all the money.”
