Let's all hate immigrants

*

I honestly don't agree with people having the right to leave their country to go stay in a new country

With the only exception being

If the general rules of that new land

Are the rules that said people want to abide by

That the way this "new" (to them) society functions is in line with what is in the heart of the person/people wanting to go there

That's why people flock here

To the US

Isn't it?

They have some misguided notion

That you can have it all here

That you will have freedom

To be who you want

To be "successful"

To be a somebody

To live a life in peace

But that simply isn't the case really

Once you scratch the surface

Of the very defunct "American Dream"

And as a foreigner one would

Have an uphill battle to keep up

Even more than the "regulars"

In this never ending 

Spinning door

Of consumerism and greed

Dishonesty and traitorism (betrayal)

And death caused by industrialization and corporate control

So while I don't believe that people should leave their countries. I understand why they do so. They do it from shear fear and desperation; they seek a chance for better, giving up all they have in life and leaving it all behind for simply the possibility to live a life in peace. 

Please just send them all back to die amidst the rubble of the countries that our own super power countries have pillaged dry of every resource possible and left decimated and uninhabitable.  The same ones our countries have helped fund wars for and given arms to.  Turn away their children and many hungry, desolate souls. 

I have a Big Mac to buy in my giant SUV on the way to kill an animal just for fun, while I TiVo my favorite reality show to not have to be bothered with any nuisance of information I don't preselect. 

What do we care?  Really?

Right?

*Nothing can ever be solved

With fear and hatred 

There can be an ending

But it won't be a good one

I can guarantee

And that applies to all parties concerned

Not just the supposed "victims"

From minimum wage to freedom

Minimum wage

How do we expect people to bust their ass on minimum wage jobs 

It's insulting really

To think that these poor workers should be grateful to be starving 

A recent report states that nowhere in the USA can a minimum wage full time worker rent a 2 bedroom apartment.* That's just an apartment, we're not talking food, utilities, car/transportation, clothes, bills, etc. No where can anyone living on minimum wage afford just a meager apartment. Yet we expect gratitude, a friendly smile, great service, a never ending smile, at all times. Seriously??

Congress doesn't work as hard as minimum wage workers, or as many hours. Yet they get paid well. People who are statistically speaking are much less your model citizen (bankruptcies, failed businesses, legal issues, crimes, etc.) then the average person. 

And yet people sometimes balk to tip them. Really?  If that extra dollar is going to bankrupt you, stay home. In Australia and Germany they have a very high minimum wage. I gather that is because they are a fairly homogenous societies and once more minorities come about that may change. Of course I could be wrong. This is just my skewed view of the possible reason. 

And also. Now. Don't get me started on contract workers. 

These people (generally speaking) went to school, did everything they were "suppose to do". And now they have no stability, no benefits and are worked as bad as day laborers or sweat shop workers. With any prospects of a permanent position making them out against each other for it. Talk about savagery. And these are the lucky ones to get a job now-a-days.  Right?

Yet we are fighting how many wars?  We are (militarily speaking) in how many countries?  Haven't we spent enough on war in this country to buy each citizen a million dollar home. Each and every one!!!

I'm dumbfounded how we could be so stupid. So complacent. 

That it has been proven that congress does exactly what special interests and corporation want it to do; regardless of the citizens desires. A 20 year study just revealed as much. That majority rule makes no difference anymore.  That the preference of the average citizen has virtually no impact on policy. None!  90% of the population doesn't count as far as congress is concerned; except at election time, and even then less and less as they strive to manipulate the votes more and more.

It's all so laughable really. 

This country isn't free?

It's a royal smorgasbord for the top percenters while the bottom 90% (or more probably) pay for it dearly, with our lives, our children and our supposed freedoms.
