The Fungal Tonque of the devil

I have a large palate.  I am lucky to have such a thing, because life constantly is slinging bullshit at you.  I was spared this B.S. while I was cruising.  Maybe this is why I went, because life in America "Ain't What is Used to Be."  "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," sang Count Basie.  Count Basie is an American figure worth remembering.  I can't think of one American figure in the last two decades I want to remember.  Jeff Bezos may be the richest man on earth, and I like Amazon.  They try to coerce you on their website showing only the highest prices, but you can get most anything you want or need via the internet.  This is a great convenience, and it drastically has changed the American economy.  America has forgotten what business is, business which supports and employs those other than its owners.  The encompassing nature of business, not business that moves money around on Wall Street, has been forgotten in America.  The examples we have are Walmart, a company that underpays it employees, so they must collect food stamps.  A representative example of a successful American business is any movie studio in Hollywood during the age of film.  One comparison to today's process for movies, and you will understand what a successful business is.  It is not just an entity which makes money for its private owners, which is what Republicans and Trump supporters think.  For some reason this faction of America feels they owe no debt to the nation in which they live and have made their fortunes.  Inexplicably they feel they must offer no ante to the pot.  They rise from the ashes of those they have burned and offer no token.  America will not and cannot function this way.  While limited government is a valid concept, America has grown away from such an idea.  The reality is the government funds must everyone, and that of itself is a socialist concept.  Often those shouting, "Socialist!" are those taking this money.  It was summarized well on MSNBC the other night, when they said Republicans are folks who have good jobs, live in their little bubble, and condemn those less fortunate.  Someone has to pay the piper.  Someone has to pay Uncle Sam for the freedom America offers.  It is not possible for this fee to come from the embattled middle class or the poor.  It must come from the wealthy, and before Ronald Reagan it did.  Before Ronnie became president the tax on the rich was 70%.  The wealthy forfeited this percentage of their income to Washington.  Now the wealthy including Amazon and Apple pay very little.  Corrupt Washingtonians continue to steal from the only people available, the American people.  They do it through their elected offices in the biggest con on earth.  It is not new, but at least in the past they tried to conceal their intentions.  America will not recover until the example of business which benefits everyone is revived.  That means money must flow from Cayman and Swiss bank accounts into the hands of ordinary everyday workers.  The middle class, newly empowered with value, income, and incentive is upon which America relies when she is functioning.  A movie studio which employs thousands of artists, craftsmen, and workers of all types, promotes a common goal, creates an able commodity, and makes a profit is a wonderful example of a successful American business.  We need more businesses like this, and less like Walmart as economical as it is.  We all adore Walmart, and it does provide a valuable service to America, but businesses which treat employees with respect and dignity and pay them a living wage are better.  Slinging hash, pumping gas, and stocking merchandise are not pinnacles of American capitalism.  America has become soiled with the feces of corrupt lawmakers.  Each day we rise we are surrounded by the stench of evil and corruption, and each day I am becoming more cognizant of what is require to survive.  Truly it has become a fight of existence, not art.  Working in the cruise industry I lived a life that was not real.  I was taught the customer comes first, and you must above all else be friendly to them.  You must be a nice guy, and most of my life I have been.  When I moved to Cowtown, I stayed a nice guy but I had nothing better to do then excel in the field of music.  I tried to be the best I could be, and I had good examples against which to try.  It is easier when you have this example.  Today the examples before us are so twisted, demonic, and unfathomable it is difficult to decide what to do or how to be.  We are the products of authoritarianism, a government predicating our lives without thinking or caring about us.  It is fair time to understand that this rule must be eliminated with force if necessary.  God says, "The meek shall inherit the earth," but with no earth upon which to live we have no choice but to put evil at bay.  We may not be able to defeat it, but we can put it in its place.
