You and I are not in the Big Club.

There’s a reason that education sucks, and it’s the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you’ve got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the big, wealthy, business interests that control all things and make the big decisions.

Forget the politicians, they’re irrelevant.

Politicians are put there to give you that idea that 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 the corporations, and they’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State Houses, and the City Halls. They’ve got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear.

They’ve got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want—they don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interest. You know something, they don’t want people that are smart enough to sit around their kitchen table and figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago.

1. The one they beat us with.

If it's a baby, why do they always say "we have two and one more on the way"? Why don't they just say "we have three kids"?

The public sucks.

3. Cuz education sucks and won't ever be fixed.

Head Start becomes No Child Left Behind... Someone's losing fucking ground here.

Pretty soon, the only thing you'll need to get into college is a fucking pencil!

2. There's probably more truth in that five minutes alone than there is in 50 years on Capitol Hill.

Fuck you, Corporate America.

4. And Cheney's still fucking kicking.

I know Joe Pesci is only right about 50% of the time, but he really fucked up this round.
