Ten Top Reason's To Avoid Supporting Joe L. Buckett

The Ten Top Reasons To Fear Joe Lunch Buckett, And To Avoid Supporting Him At All Cost!

1. He’s different from any politician you’ve ever heard before. Beside that, he’s virtual! He doesn’t sing the same old, worn out battle hymns from the right, or same the old, worn out battle hymns from the left. He’s a totally different animal, and in your considerable experience, anyone who’s different MUST BE WRONG! And that’s that!

2. You are one of those top 1% whose net worth is greater than the bottom 95% combined, and you really do stand to lose if people hear what Joe has to say to them. Besides that, you think that things like justice, freedom, and democracy really are at their very best when controlled by the corporate elite, and parceled out to individual citizens at the discretion of the corporate elite.

3. You think that the modern, corporately owned and controlled mass media really does present all sides of the story to the people who take the time to listen. In other words, you contend that the modern media provides the American people with all the information they really need to make an informed decision with regard to who has the best taco restaurant in town, and who’s the lesser of two evils when it comes to being President of the United States.

4. You think that justice, freedom, and democracy can actually co-exist with an economy that actually promotes the concentration of wealth and power into the hands of a few people at the expense of the many. And anyone who disagrees must be a commie pig…right? Anyway, just look at us today. We’re living proof.

5. You really like the way our current political system works, where empty suited candidates from the conventional left and the conventional right, and neither of whom have any common sense solutions for 21st century problems, sling mud and insult one another (and the intelligence of the viewing public) for six straight months, then when one side eeks out a so-called victory, they claim a mandate for their own agenda, while a polarized public sits dazed and confused on the sidelines, which is where they really belong anyway.

6. You think that since he refuses to comment on two guys kissing, that Joe must be some sort of Godless, and immoral pervert who deserves no support.

7. You have not been laid off of your job yet, and you see the Dow Jones climbing on a weekly basis (despite the fact that job layoffs are gong on all around you) so you contend that the economy is heading in the right direction and you support the status quo. I mean why consider change unless you really have to?

8. You like being an industrial sharecropper, a modern day wage slave who spends his or her day doing what someone else tells you to do. After all, freedom requires thinking and taking responsibility. And that kind of thing is hard work. You actually prefer to have someone else think and take the responsibility so you can watch the NFL, the NBA, or even better the WWF and drink beer all weekend, every weekend. Awesome, huh?

9. If the economy actually did positively explode, just the way that Joe claims it will under his 21st century plan, we’d use up the earth’s natural resources even faster than we already are currently. And by some estimates we only have about fifty years left on the lease anyway. Why speed up the race to Armageddon…right?

10. You think that if all citizens were to develop the financial independence (i.e. freedom) that Joe is prescribing, they would be far too hard to control. The boss could no longer dictate to them 40 to 60 hours a week. The government could no longer buy their vote. And the end result of too much freedom for all is mass chaos and hysteria, which doesn’t sound too good to you. Let freedom ring is a nice marketing slogan. And a government of the people, for the people, and by the people rolls off the tongue nicely. But come on. Let’s get real. And besides, if people don’t know that they’re not free, why would you want to wake them up to that fact? A sleeping and well controlled citizenship is the key to today’s Brave New, 21st Century World, and you think we should just keep it that way.
