Interconnect Me


Feel The Connection

Did you know that in America- There are no rich-there are no poor-and there is no middle class.
Yes---it's true because in America----We are all interconnected.

Amazing words from a new found intermediary in contact with the divine? Maybe a  message from a secret society of outer worldly beings-observers since the dawn of time-who have chosen now- at this precise moment-- to deliver the message.. That we are all interconnected?

This mesmerizing message from Rand Paul is his way to convince us.. that taxing the rich 3% more will only hurt us all.

The Message....hurting us...means hurting you....because we are one.

Rand Paul says, "Well, the thing is, we're all interconnected.There are no rich. There are no middle class.There are no poor.We all either work for rich people-or we sell stuff to rich people." and Alex Castellanos (father of the attack ad) Republican Media consultant-top media advisor to Bush/Cheney agrees- in fact he practically channels Paul- with this ; "We are in a connected society now.Can you tax just the rich people's side of the water bucket? Can you take money out of that?"

Picture not a water bucket in your minds eye- but a pig trough--where one pig owns not only the contents of the trough but the trough itself;

Two pigs are at the trough-one the size of a Chihuahua--the other weighs 600 lbs. The big pig says to the little pig, "I will give you some of my food.....if I can have a  little bit of yours."

The little pig -being an uninformed trusting pig, thinks for a moment,"that seems reasonable" he says," as we are both pigs who need to eat and with only one trough of food-we can both survive if we share."
Both agree and the big pig eats first.When it's the little pigs turn he sees only one crumb left in the trough.
Alarmed the little pig cries,"there's only one crumb of food left- where did all the food go?"
"That's my contribution to you." the big pig grunts.

So the story goes.. With the big pigs in charge the little pigs can just go screw themselves.

If we were really interconnected wouldn't this be true;

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to say "Do tax the rich because we're a connected society?
If one believes we live in a truly connected society,then we should be willing to recognize that the connections in a healthy ethical society do not simply go one way...otherwise we are engaging in social Darwinism. We can't all be stock brokers-and just because someone doesn't earn a huge income doesn't mean they don't make important contributions.Cutting things like Social Security, education and health care only make us disconnected.

Clearly Aqua Buddha Rand Paul is the one who has unplugged his connection...if he ever had one in the first place.

Maybe disconnecting the greedy from some of their wealth will be like an intervention-getting the addict to face his sickness in order for him to become well again.

But like all addicts blinded by their addiction whether it be meth or money- the addicts are unable to see their world crumbling around them.The meth addict doesn't seem to notice that their teeth have fallen out-and the wealthy haven't seemed to notice America is crumbling.Both are addicts and both will self destruct at some point unless an intervention is enacted.

Rand Paul's statement could be interpreted as this; "Well the thing is we're all addicted, there are no rich addicts.There are no middle class addicts. There are no poor addicts.We either work for the drug lords, or we sell stuff to the drug lords."

How long will it be before the money addicts realize their teeth have fallen out? And all they are doing is defending the drug lords?

Would you let an addict determine your future?


The time is coming for an intervention...keep your pitch forks handy.
