With the majority of its workers making less than a living wage, one Walmart is holding a food drive for its own employees.===

Ever think the balance is just all wrong? Billionaires who build their fortunes off the backs of the underemployed should not be held up as examples of society’s winners, they should be held up on fucking pikes.
Capitalism’s winners wouldn’t be possible without the huge piles of losers they walk all over to get to the top.
^^^^^^^^^ This is the best comment ever (bolded).
A remix of Ministry’s classic song “NWO” from their album “Rantology”. In some ways I like it better than the original. In some ways.
And even though Bush is not president anymore, that hope and change we were promised seems to be nowhere to be found.
Oligarchy: A government resting on the valuation of property, in which the rich have power and the poor are deprived of it.

Of course a lot of guys were ashamed. Somebody said let’s go out and fight for liberty and so they went out and got killed without ever once thinking of liberty. And what kind of liberty were they fighting for anyway? How much liberty and whose kind of liberty? Were they fighting for the liberty of eating free ice cream cones all their lives or for the liberty of robbing anybody they pleased whenever they wanted to or what? You tell a man he can’t rob and you take away some of his liberty. You’ve got to. What the hell does liberty mean anyhow? It’s a word like house or table or any other word. Only it’s a special kind of word. A guy says house and he can point to a house to prove it. But a guy says come on let’s fight for liberty and he can’t show you liberty. He can’t prove the thing he’s talking about so how in the hell can he be telling you to fight for it? No sir anybody who went out and got into the front line trenches to fight for liberty was a goddamn fool and the guy who got him there was a liar.
