[escepticos] Interesante: Reglas de la nueva aristocracia

[Pedro J. Hdez]

 It doesn’t matter how much an education costs, doesn’t matter if your kids
can’t afford to go to college or come out with massive debt, we will always
be able to send our kids to university. And because a lot of our income is
derived from tax incentives and taxpayer-financed bailouts your taxes are
sending our kids to school. But you do not have the right to any of our
money to send your kid to school.

If you or your kids want to start a business, you will find that because
we’ve sucked all the money out of the economy, there is simply no available
cash around to help you finance your startup. (Unless you want to go to
your friends online at sites like Indiegogo, and isn’t that just cute?) We
just cut our kids a check and tell them to go have fun.

Your kids are born with a glass ceiling above which they will almost
certainly never have the opportunity to rise. Our kids are born with a
marble floor beneath which they will never be allowed to fall.

If you accidentally provide incorrect information on your tax return, you
could lose your house, your possessions, and your livelihood. We lie all
the time on our tax information and none of us ever have to deal with this.
We squirrel away trillions of dollars in overseas accounts and do all we
can to ensure that your money never leaves our control because we'll
doubtless need to scoop out more of it soon.

You live in a Company Town; we pay you to work for us, while making sure
that we own all the stores in town that sell our goods, the doctors offices
where you go in town, the restaurants where you eat, and that we charge you
just enough to make sure that at the end of the week you don’t have any
leftover money to squirrel away, so you can never leave the company town,
can never get ahead, and can never risk criticizing the company town. You
work for us. We own the town where you live. We own you.
