"THE AMERICAN DREAM" BY GEORGE CARLIN -- DO YOU AGREE?


[+] ballot by _Beelzebubba
created Wed Sep 06, 06

"Consumption.

It's the new national pasttime. Fuck baseball, it's consumption. The only lasting American value that's left, buying things! People spending money they don't have on things they don't need. So they can max out their credit cards and spend the rest of their lives paying eighteen percent interest on something that cost twelve fifty! And they didn't like it when they got it home anyway. Not too bright folks. But if you talk to one of them about this, if you sit them down and rationally talk to them about low IQs and dumb behavior, right away they start talking about education. That's the answer to everything, more money for education. More teachers, more schools, more testing for the kids. You say, well, we've tried that, but the kids still can't pass the tests. They say don't worry about that, we'll lower the passing grade. And that's what a lot of them are doing. They do that, the IQ of the country slips a few points. Pretty soon all you'll need to get into college is a fucking pencil. Got a pencil? Get the fuck in there, it's physics. Education. Politicians know that word; they'll use it on you. Traditionally politicians hide behind three things, the flag, the bible, and children. No child left behind. Oh really? Well, not too long ago you were talking about giving kids a head start. Head start, left behind. Someone's losing fucking ground here. But there's a reason education sucks, there's a reason it's never going to get any better. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners, now. The big wealthy business interest that controls things and makes all the big decisions. Forget the politicians, they're irrelevant. Politicians are there to give you the feeling 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 all the corporations, they've long since bought and paid for the Senate, State Houses, City Halls, they've got the judges in their back pocket. And they own all the big media so they control what you see and hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year, lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for you. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a nation capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking, they don't want that. That doesn't help them, that's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard thirty years ago. Know what they want? Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines, and just stupid enough to passively accept the increasingly shittier jobs, lower pay, longer hours, reduced benefits, end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. Now they want your social security money. You know what? They'll get it. They'll get it all. Because they own this country. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. It's the same club they use to beat you over the head with all day when they tell you what to believe. All day, their media telling you what to believe, what to think, and how to act. The table is tilted, the game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, no body seems to care. Blue collar, red collar, doesn’t matter what collar shirt you wear, good honest hard working people, continue to elect these rich cocksuckers, who don't care about you. They don't care about you, they don't give a fuck about you at all! Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care, that's what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will remain willingly ignorant of the big red, white, and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes all day. Because the owners of this country know the truth.

It's called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."

Ow, my anus!

as for the question, its hard for me to answer from an American perspective of course, but the income inequality figures for America speak for themselves really.

This reminds me of an inspirational thought I had recently, one that I should really have got off my arse and written an essay about. I basically came across economic statistics that highly supported the idea of the "American dream" being a device to control/sedate the populace.

I wish I had more motivation, because It could be a really great essay.

It's brilliant. When I heard him deliver it, I also found it depressing. Great comedy often is.

George Carlin caricatures American life for entertainment. Still, there are many truths in his observations, and if we find his comedy only funny, then we are in trouble as a nation.
