Mac vs. PC Security In One Sentence

It seems the poor and uniformed are partial to the rhetoric of the rich and
selfish. This is a most unfortunate fact, as it means that the slaves are
demanding the right to be beaten, and they have named the abolitionists as
the enemy.

As sad as this is, I can’t help but laugh at it. But my laughter is violent
— of the sort that inspires me to shake people until they see reason. I feel
helpless against this category of stupid.

Let’s review:

1. Obama is trying to raise taxes (by eliminating loopholes) on billionaire
   corporations that move jobs overseas so that their executives can have
   more boats and summer homes. The Republicans stop him at every turn.

2. Obama is trying to raise taxes on millionaires who make more in a month
   than most make in a year. He is stopped at ever turn by Republicans.

3. Obama is trying to give poor people a fair chance against the insurance
   companies when it comes to getting healthcare. He wants pre-existing
   conditions covered, and less right of companies to reject claims. This
   is for the poor and middle classes — not the rich. Yet who opposes this?
   The Republicans.

4. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened for decades, and it’s
   now as large as it’s ever been. The rich have more and more of the
   money, yet the narrative from the right is still that the rich need to
   keep their money to create jobs. The poor and uneducated eat this up,
   despite the fact that if it were true they would have jobs already
   because the rich already have much more of the money than when jobs were
   plentiful.

Basically, the poor and ignorant are masses of mindless zombies being
wielded against those who would free them. The tea party narrative has made
Obama the bad guy and the rich the good guys. Obama wants jobs here — they
want to support corporate outsourcing. Obama wants a more progressive tax
rate — they want the rich to have more money. Obama wants the poor to have
healthcare — they want the insurance companies to have higher profits.

And the whole time the right is making these idiotic arguments, they’re
being cheered on by those without jobs and insurance. It’s unbelievable.

Try it yourself. Go find a poorly educated person who makes very little
money and ask him who he supports politically. It will amaze you. ::
