Welcome to the United Snakes: The Government's an Addict With a Billion Dollar a Week Kill Brown People Habit

in #dailyquotes5 years ago (edited)

"Hold up, give me one right here, hold up.
You don't give money to the bums, on the corner with a sign bleeding from the gums.
Talkin' 'bout you don't support a crack head. What you think happens to the money from your taxes?
The government's an addict, with a billion dollar a week kill brown people habit.
And even if you ain't on the front line, when NASA yells crunch time, you right back at it.
Man look at how you hustlin' backwards. At the end of the year, add up what they subtracted.
Three out of twelve months your salary pays for that madness, man that's sadness...
What's left, get a big ass plasma, to see where they made Dan Rather point the damn camera.
Only approved questions get answered, now stand your ass up for that national anthem.

Welcome to the United Snakes, land of the thief, home of the slave.
Grand Imperial Guard, where the dollar is sacred, and power is god." - Brother Ali, Uncle Sam Goddamn:

Lyrics are from an older song, but the words ring just as true today as the day they were originally written. I only posted the last verse out of a total of three, so plenty more hard hitting lyrics in the song which aren't quoted here but are above in the embedded official music video.

The state of affairs wrought by the US Empire is sadness indeed, and sure enough they've also got Americans paying for the madness, through all the paycheck taxes which the common man doesn't even owe, no less. (100% of the income taxes go to pay interest on the federal debt which pays for the endless wars, and not one penny of it goes to any of the services American taxpayers expect from their government.)

But now the government spends a whole lot more than a billion dollars a week on the war machine which is killing foreign Arabs on a daily basis across the Middle East, not to mention the thousands more of all colors and creeds around the world that are extremely negatively impacted by the imperial foreign policy of interventionism abroad through starvation sanctions and all the other western international banking policies which keeps all the populations and governments of practically the whole world enslaved to the greedy international corporate elite. A billion dollars a week would be only 52 billion dollars a year, while the current annual US war budget is a whopping 700 billion dollars a year, which comes out to approximately 15.3 billion dollars PER WEEK! Talk about some madness, and ya, like he said, man that's sadness...

Let us only hope the madness can be reversed before it has caused irreversible damage, or worse brings humanity and the earth we live on to an end.

Have a great weekend everyone. Peace.
