Wheat,
white or dark rye...? For Romney, it’s truly “Wonder
Bread.”
I’ll
wager you Romney’s customary bet; ten thousand bucks,
no less, that honestly speaking - and not merely for
the dramatics of the moment - this 65-year-old “Ken”
doll has no legitimate clue what a “Happy Meal” costs.
He has no inkling what it costs to make it from paycheck
to paycheck, stretch a dollar bill ‘til the eagle
on the back smiles.
You
are not Mitt Romney’s brother
And
wait, logically we can extend his ignorance
of the little people’s plight to endless conclusions:
the price of a gallon of milk, an average dentist
bill, the monthly electricity or water bill, say what
the average backyard grill runs a dad, or what a box
of Captain Crunch, with Crunch-berries, or
not, costs a mom.
Obama
has some idea, some hint, so does his wife... of what
it costs to “make it.” Both were raised in the “real
world.” The President may have done some globetrotting,
but I submit his travels pale in comparison to the
leisurely lifestyle Romney was born into and dwells-in
still.
If
nothing, nothing at all matters to you and me, this,
Romney’s blatant disregard of the “misery index,”
should.
Clearly,
this cat is not cut from the same hand-woven Cashmere
cloth as other wealthy politicians like JFK, RFK or
the Roosevelts - who at
least pretended to give a damn about this land’s unwashed
masses. Romney is the fat-cat flip-side of that ever
elusive rare breed - the compassionate Aristocrat
who harbors some small measure of empathy, sympathy
and understanding for the worker ants n’ bees. Instead,
it seems he personifies the multi-national corporatist
who harbors no allegiance to any particular cause,
people or flag. No, instead it’s all about the bottom
line, never ending, always increasing profits.
Romney’s
a contemporary version of “Gilligan’s Island’s” Thurston
Howell III; a boarding school, country club robber
baron who’s never gotten his hands dirty, never done
any heavy lifting, nor has he ever worked from “can’t
see to can’t see...” And like George W., he too avoided
the Vietnam War by going to France to spread the word
of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Nevertheless he
wants to, if elected, go to war against half the world.
Mitt’s
a Wall Street pimp.
Mitt
calculates an individual’s worth and value by the
enormity of their financial portfolio
You
may not dig this... but dig this; Romney’s crafted
for himself a “charmed life” and a gazillion dollars
by pimping and exploiting people. The whole Vampire
venture capitalist tag doesn’t go nearly far enough;
it’s far too clean n’ neat, as is the comparison to
Vultures. Instead, Romney is the undisputed
poster-punk for a type of “man of exceptional means”
with whom you and I couldn’t spend two-minutes. We’ve
not a damn thing in common with him, and yet even
more alarming is that Romney is that wealthy weasel
who wears his wealth on his sleeve like a Mississippi
Redneck sheriff wears his racism on his shoulder.
He
flaunts it, rubs it in your face, while tragically,
his political calculations are based on his pampered
personal perceptions - of course. Mitt calculates
an individual’s worth and value by the enormity of
their financial portfolio. Romney’s not struggling
to minimize the “blind man luv”
he’s got for “the Donald,” the Koch boys, the casino
cartel and all the rest of his self-anointed royal
roost of fellow country club nobles.
Now,
with the obvious offered up for your digestion, ponder
my friend what will happen if a man with an elf’s
handful of human compassion, like Mitt, is elected.
He is a proud pawn for filthy rich folks, the top-tier
of humanity who honestly do believe, wholeheartedly
- behind closed doors and at the end of the day -
that they, as rich people are better, in all ways
that matter than poor people... a concept to which
Mitt holds true. If elected, what we will all witness
is these bastards declaring, and trying to shove down
our throats, some make-believe, pretend “mandate”
issued by Real Americans to “take back their
country!”
Can
you say “on a mission from God...?”
They’ll
slash the already chopped and hacked safety net, and
openly support, advocate and strategically invest
in more for-illicit-profit prisons then they’ll
pump into the social infrastructure of America.
But more impacting, they’ll dismantle any legitimate
chances people have in America to move vertically,
to go from one step on the socio-economic ladder to
the next higher: breadwinner jobs, civil servants
who labor to keep a civilization “civilized” by providing
a good education, high quality and still affordable
health care, clean water and safe food and drugs,
fair and decent law enforcement - all areas of life
the Republican TEA Party wants to eradicate.
Every
man for himself... I got mine, by any means required,
now you get yours... the best way you can, buddy.
Reverend
Al, Dr. Blackenstein - Michael Dyson, or the blue eyed soul singer,
Lawrence O’Donnell must ask Mitt Romney if he knows
the price of a six-pack of Coronas or what
a quart of Quaker State oil goes for.
Black
folks, check your “blacklist.” O’Donnell was mailed
out his Soul Brother ID badge and decoder ring
during the tragic Treyvon
Martin debacle.
He
personifies the multi-national corporatist who harbors
no allegiance to any particular cause, people or flag
Speaking
of religious nuts and extremists, Romney’s Mormon...
cult if you will and I will - is well aware
of the importance of preparing for rainy days and
hard times. Their personal pantries are so stuffed
full of food they resemble Sam Walton’s pantry - they
surely don’t want to be left high n’ dry when hard
times come a-knockin’ – nonetheless, one of their faithful, Mitt, has little,
if any qualms about sabotaging the US economy, further
exporting the “American Dream,” reducing the probability
of “everyday people” living the dream to little more
than a “fantasy”.
And
the Mormons will support him; he’ll win Utah
without trying.
Translation,
Romney and the 75% of White America that is going
to support him, are actually advocating the position
of... let them eat cake. “Them” being the working
class, underclass which are predominated by Americans
of color and for them it’s meaningless if this elitist
SOB couldn’t tell you what a one layer White cake
at the grocer’s bakery costs. They well understand
Romney couldn’t care less if you, your kids or aging
parents get a slice tonight, hell, they couldn’t care
less.
Did
you get that? They couldn’t care less. White folks,
of all walks of life, are willing to take a hit...
in order to take back their country, put the riff
raff back in our proper, sub-par lot in life.
The
“Right” has rejected the notion that all Americans
ought to have the option available to him or her to
work for a two-car garage home and a rib eye steak
Dinner on Sunday for their family, so millions of
angry Euro-Americans will pull the lever for Mitt.
If
you don’t get nothin’, get this; You are not Mitt Romney’s brother, make
no mistake about it. Nor are you living in a land
where three-fourths of the White population view Americans
of color as Americans, forget brothers n’ sisters.
