The Breakdown of the Social Contract

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Stupid NeoCon Trick #(billions & billions):
“I don’t NEED that, so WTF do i gotta PAY for it (taxes, etc)”

& at first, that sounds Reasonable, eh?
Sure, you’re a Guy– you ain’t gonna get Pregnant, right?
You don’t drive thru that tunnel, or across that bridge– so fuck them!
“If they can’t stand the heat {can’t pay for prenatal care, etc}, then THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN {pregnant, etc}.”

HERE’S THE THING–

  1. You use the freeway system, eh?
  2. Ever call a Cop, b/c someone sketchy was in your neighborhood? (or worse– you needed them b/c Something Bad Happened?)
  3. Ever need the Fire Department?

Even the Richest MOFO needs the rest of us– they don’t do their own dishes, clean their toilets… they can just import undocumented labor, right? But what about plumbing? Okay, they sneak-in skilled undocumented labor…
…but what do they connect their pipes to? Municipal Water Supply?

They can ‘think’ they’re truly Self-Reliant, but unless they’re COMPLETELY OFF THE GRID, it’s just SLOPPY THINKING & INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY
…& if they CONTINUE to keep claiming all these things, AFTER being ‘schooled’–
then they’re just INTELLECTUALLY VIOLENT… ie completely REPREHENSIBLE, & ACTIVELY TEARING-DOWN THE SOCIAL CONTRACT.

PS– know what’s really hilarious?
99.99% of these “Go it Alone” types would DIE IN 1 WEEK if stuck in the wilderness…
…true ‘Survivor’ types really do know, understand, & appreciate our Interconnectedness…

…but not the Modern NeoConservative Movement, definitely NOT when it comes to TAXES.

“MORAL VIRTUE = SPENDING ALL MY $$ ON *MYSELF*” is their ethos…

I would really LOVE to see these types really do “Go Galt”… put ‘em in a plastic bubble, & watch them devolve into chaos & cannibalism… much faster than you’d ever expect, I’ll bet…
