People like waterboy doesn't see the middle class and poor's loss of jobs and homes, pay increases that do not keep up with inflation, and the unequal distribution of the worker's company's profits that favors the CEO's and officers.
Since waterboy talks as if he's in the 1%, I wonder what his tax liabilities are?
I faun upon the rich every time I get around them, which is seldom enough... And talking as one brown noser of another, meaning waterboy, I see that he like so many identifies with the rich because their wildest and most impossible dreams find them rich, and powerful, and influencial and admired as they admire the rich; and the thought of being rich and being challenged on their morality, or being despised as heartless unpatriotic peasants raised above their means on the suffering of so many in despair- sort of ruins the dream for them... And he is clinging to his dream...
We all have our little fantasies, but it is the fantasy life of the middle class which keeps so many of them supporting the reality of the rich... The nightmare of the many is the fantasy of the few, and asking them to examine the implications of their dreams, or of riding their dreams mentally to their ultimate conclusion only wrecks it for them...
Irresponsible wealth makes the wealthy responsible for terrible injustice and suffering... When they do not pay to have their empire abroad defended, then the very people who lay their lives on the line to defend it must pay for the honor... And there is no cure...If to protect the poor from unjust taxation you must immunize the rich from all taxation then you have ever less to be taxed for and ever less to pay taxes with...
The poorer people are, and the more they must endure poverty in their youths, the more people will dream of changing places with the rich, and so, the less they will seek justice for all... Wealth is the stuff dreams are made of, and whether people are rich or poor, they are unlikely to see the reality through the veil of their dreams... Dreaming of wealth is all Waterboy with know of wealth... I am a world champion Brown noser, but I have to set the limit at my nose... Waterboy has no limit to his adoration of the rich and powerful because he is poor and weak... If he could clear his head, he would try to clear his shoulders, and if he could do that he would climb whole into the bowels of the wealthy, and seek rebirth as their child, but they would not see him ever as their lost love, but as the child of fate that he is...
I adore the rich because they are often, from my experience, a wonderful, cultured, and gentle class of people...Waterboy loves them because they are anything but that in reality... I hate the poor because they are dirty, grasping, selfish, uneducated, and cruel; and I forgive them because I see in their behavior what has been done to them, and what has been taken from them, and I want for them only justice, realizing that they cannot advocate for themselves because they want revenge more than justice...
People need morals in order to have a life, and a condition worth defense, and when we buy into our system of government and economy we must abandon morality, and then we have abandoned our sole defense... A moral person whether rich or poor would see that we are all in the same boat here, and that security bought for one by insecurity for all does not make a secure socitey...
People feel they must be free of guilt to cast the first stone, but the first stone was cast a long time ago, when people were taught that inequality and injustice were their bread and butter... That is the point where all great injustice begins, when ones honor is bought for a triffle, for wages that are not worth our work, or worth a moment of our limited live... Few go so far as waterboy, and become curs for the cause of wealth... Most people simply grow more hopless and desparate with time, and never take it out on other victims...
It is as bad to blame the victims for the tragedy of their lives as it is to credit the rich for the carnival of their lives...We are in it together, and if it is not working for the poor, it is not working for the rich... And you hear them complain: It is not easy being rich... Being rich does not make you happy... Really??? Just try being happy and poor if you think being rich is not happiness... I am certain that many poor would agree, that if they could escape their misery for an hour or a day that their misery would be more barable than it is without escape... People like waterboy wish their misery on others without the means to defend themselves from it, or to escape from it... The sheep have no choice but to be sheep... Dogs have the choice of whether they will be wolves or sheep dogs... Water boy is a mutt, but he identifies with the wolves, and that makes him feel like a man...
