| I marched with Occupy Oakland last Saturday, but Ià ‚¬ „ ve had a change of heart. Ià ‚¬ „ m joining the One Percent. The One Percent have fun. They have jobs and money. Or just money, because when you have a lot of money, you donà ‚¬ „ t need to work. They live in houses, not tents. The One Percent have a government that actually listens to them. If an Occupier ever tried to defend himself and/or toted a gun, police would shoot him to death. But Tea Party guys get to bring their guns to protests and to make not-so-vague allusions to shooting President Obama. They never had to worry about copscrushing their skulls or pepper spraying them! So Ià ‚¬ „ m joining the One Percent. A friend said Ià ‚¬ „ d regret joining and quoted Three Dog Night, who sang that one is the loneliest number. No, ità ‚¬ „ s not, not when youà ‚¬ „ ve bought off the government and the news media. In the United States, 2 + 2 = 5, and 1 > 99. |
