I feel ya. To quote Carlin (the guy really did have this bullshit society figured out):
"Now to balance the scale, I'd like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. 'Cause that's all you ever hear about in this country is our differences. That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about: the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society: they try to divide the rest of the people; they keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money. Fairly simple thing... happens to work. You know, anything different, that's what they're gonna talk about: race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other so that they can keep going to the bank. You know how I describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class... keep 'em showing up at those jobs." Is that Takhisis from Dragonlance? |

It's supposed to be Tiamat from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, but Takhisis was based on her/is the same goddess. Just like Fizban/Paladine is Bahamut.

I have yet to do my taxes, have to do them next week before I leave, but have started taking Comp Time as opposed to overtime pay just to avoid the next tax bracket. Wasn't paying attention during the pre-order event on Walmart earlier this week. Only ordered one of each new figure before checking out I saw Storm Shadow was in-stock. I missed the Retro Card pre-order and thought this is timely so I quickly ordered one. What was delivered wasn't the Carded Figure. :( It was the regular figure. Oh well, Can never have too many Ninjas.

I worked OT this weekend as well. Feel like the government should send be a thank you note for all the extra money I just made for them

My friend's dad, back in the day....Used to say that your paycheck should include a photo of the welfare recipient your tax dollars are supporting.

The real sad thing is, it'd likely be a photo of some rich fucker because us stupid saps in the middle are literally supporting the wealthy with our consumerism, mortgages, credit debt, banking fees and taxes. We have socialism for the rich in this great land of bootstraps, where we bail out the wealthy and give free healthcare to the government officials in their pockets, but drive regular folks into bankruptcy over business loses, medical bills and student loan debt...all of which they make a ton of money off of. We're just cattle to them, and they're milking us dry while we pay for the privilege and they hoard the wealth.
