Two Complaints.

I have two major complaints this time, I guess I'm on a roll!

The first is about our old friends, the banks. It's been clear to anyone that has read my comments that I feel the banks should be allowed to fail. I also believe their officers should be tried and imprisoned for the raping they have done to the citizens of this nation, their employees and the overall national economy. And yet their greed knows no bounds.

Take for instance fees, interest rates, and harassment. To show how high up in their Mount Olympus these lords are all you have to do is see how they treat their customers. For they know people are struggling, namely the majority of their customers, so do they make it easier for them to pay their debts to them? No. On the contrary, they make it even harder. As Dave Ramsey has said "the system is designed for the consumer to fail." Miss a payment by a day? They will slam your interest rates up, forget about how good a customer you are or are even trying to be. Miss it by a day and you get phone call after phone call after phone call. Fees? Well hell, they will not only hit you with a late fee but if THEIR fee manages to kick it over your limit they will hit you with an over limit fee! Oh and let's not forget the fees for paying your bill via phone or computer, which mind you costs them jack. More and more they screw you over, the people trying to do the right thing and pay their bills.

And for this harassing and miserable treatment we should give them OUR tax money? F'em.

The second is the overall ignorance, blind ignorance, of the American people. Not everyone of course, but sadly too many. I read many different newspapers and am always fascinated by the blind ignorant following of the two Parties that make up this nation's political system. The arguments between rabid Republicans and diehard Democrats always seems to say to me "you are both being just so totally led by the nose."

The Democrats always argue that they are the more superior species because they are more open-minded. That they seek greater equality and fairness between all. That if you wear a suit and tie something must be wrong with you to be in the "upper class." Obama is the saviour of the nation and defender of all that is good. That those who do not agree with them clearly are nothing more than fascists and right wing nutcases.

The Republicans always argue that they are the more superior species because they are more family oriented. That they have a deeper sense of God's true purpose and believe that the strong should survive. That if you were flip-flops, boots, or jeans that something must be wrong with you to be in the "lower class." That Bush was the righteous leader and protector of the people from the evils of others. That those who do not agree with them are clearly damned and God will punish them accordingly.

Well, to both you ignorant peoples I say, wake the hell up! Listen to yourselves! For God's (and any other deity's) sake just listen to the way you are talking about your fellow man? READ SOME BOOKS! Study how Stalin, Hitler, King Louis, Czar Nicholas, and other national leaders and their governments played people in this same fashion to be sure there was always a "slave" class to do the work and bidding of the "upper" class. The minute that anyone looks "down" or "wrong" at someone else you are dooming our nation to fail and suffer the upheavals of those who came before us. Once you put anyone on a pedestal, such as our politicians and CEOs, you guarantee they will run with it and take everything they can get away with. But keep everyone on the same level, to the same standards, to the same insurance, same levels of pay and evaluation, to the same medical care, and you will NEVER see what is happening right now.

The two party system is the single most destructive thing to the United States of America. It causes the people to be divided while those in the Parties make the calls that rule our lives and manipulate everything to go their way. And while the ignorant masses are yelling "it's their fault" and "we're better than you" nobody is noticing that our government, their friends in the banks and corporations, are screwing us over more and more every day.

How many people have lost their jobs? How many are BOTH Democrats and Republicans? How many people have lost their savings? How many are BOTH Democrats and Republicans? How many people have been working their asses off every single day, mothers and fathers, and can't even see their kids enough to really give them what they need? How many are BOTH Democrats and Republicans?

That's because NONE of you are EITHER Democrats or Republicans (nor Blacks and Whites, Jews or Gentiles, or any other such labeled crap)!! You are ALL AMERICANS! And right now you should stop the bickering, the crying, the whining, the belly-aching about how much some politician is your savior/enemy and start realizing that NONE of them care one damn bit about you in reality, they only care about what they are getting out of it and how ignorant you stay so they can keep getting it.

And if the recently passed Stimulus isn't an example of how our government, our politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, don't give a damn about the American people, nothing is.
