Street Talk

 Bullshit don't go uphill, but it sure in hell goes down hill real quick! Man you got that right, it always finds it's way down to us! I heard that.
  So in Washington, while the ruling class goes on with business as usual, out here on the streets, things aren't getting any better, but they sure have gotten a lot worse! The further down the economic scale you go, the harder the hits are felt! Who is to blame for this condition, who is there to be held accountable?
  Villains, who do you think are the villains in this whole shutdown debacle, Government or Big Business? It's a complex problem for sure, and the players on both sides make sure of that! Because it is a big problem, it is always best to dissect it into smaller parts. Who or what is the government? Three branches of a mix of mostly two parties, most all of whom are inept! Politicians are well paid folks, and the perks have made many a millionaire out of a peasant! Another way to say it is that the government is full of politicians. There are few Statesman, but there are politicians galore!
  Republican or Democrat, does it really matter, because haven't they all become inept? You know who's not being represented in all of this? We the people! But what about those evil corporations, who or what are they? They too are made up with people, and the great majority of these are similiar to the EPA's non essentials, for they are the worker bees. There is however, a distinct difference between the two, in that the workers in the corporations produce goods and services, like those I-phones that everyone seems to want? The workers in the EPA create nothing by their labor, other then to self perpetuate the EPA itself. It gets larger by adding more rules and regulations. Like it or not, it is Wall Street that is keeping us afloat right now, and this is a good thing, as most of you own some stock in one form or another.
  There are other glaring differences between the private and the public workforce? Both pay the top eschelon real well! Consider this, The EPA layed off 83% of their workforce as non-essential, but what about the remaining 17%? They are well paid, just as the top spots in any corporation are paid well.
 So who are you going to hate, Big Government or Big Business? While you consider this, remember that the government doesn't make money, it can only take it, and so far, they have taken 17 Trillion Dollars! Hello, has any of them heard of living within their means? That is the simple talk of the man in the street. Maybe street smarts is the best smart?
