Run Forrest Run

To the OWS folks….

What took you so long…was it the reality of huge student loans.
Was it the reality of huge student loans and no jobs post graduation.
Was it the reality of huge student loans and no jobs post graduation, or only minimum wage jobs with no chance of paying back those student loans.

Or was it getting laid off while the CEO paid himself a huge salary.
Or was it getting laid off while the CEO paid himself a huge salary, and received a large bonus for outsourcing your American job.
Or was it getting laid off while the CEO paid himself a huge salary, and received a large bonus for outsourcing your American job, and then ran to Washington to secure a large government contract which the American people financed thru their taxes.

Whatever it was, good for you. Keep up the good fight…….

After eight years of Bush and Cheney, you get mad now…

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in  Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You didn’t get mad when the president ignored the clear and timely warning that terrorists were going to hijack planes and fly them into the WTCs.

You didn’t get mad when the weapons inspectors, who said there were no WMDs, were ignored.

You didn’t get mad when hundreds of thousands of people died in Iraq.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.  Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans…oh hell no.
