We like war. We like war. We're a war like people. We like war because we're good at it.
You know why we're good at it? Because we get a lot of practice.
This country's only 200 years old and already we've had 10 major wars.
We average a major war in this country every 20 years, so we're good at it.
Got no steel industry left, can't get healthcare for our old people, can't educate our young people,
but we can bomb the shit out of your country, alright?
Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck.
Well, where do people think these politicians come from?
They don't fall out of the sky. They come from American parents and American families,
American homes, American schools, and they're elected by American citizens.
This is the best we can do, folks. This is what we have to offer.
It's what our system produces. Garbage in, garbage out.
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, if you have selfish, ignorant citizens,
you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.
So maybe, maybe, maybe it's not the politicians who suck.
Maybe something else sucks around here, like the public.
Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody.
Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody.
The public sucks. Fuck hope. Fuck hope.
It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you got.
Because the owners of this country don't want that.
I'm talking about the real owners now. The real owners, the big wealthy business interests
that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.
You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you.
They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations.
They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls.
They've got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies,
so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want.
