The subject and the points he makes are as serious as a heart attack but people are laughing.

George Carlin ~ The American Dream
There’s a reason that education sucks and it’s the same reason that it will never ever be fixed. It’s never going to get better, don’t look for it so 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 real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians; the politicians are put there to give you the 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. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state house, the city halls they’ve got the judges in their back pockets. The own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They got ya 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 interests. They don’t want people smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and realize how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago They don’t want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers; people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you got to collect it. Now they’re coming for your social security money. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back so that they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall St. And you know something; they’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later; because they own this fucking place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club.
By the way it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head all day long when they tell you what to believe; All day long in their meetings telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks; the game is rigged and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.
Good honest hard working people, white collar blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard working people of modest means continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all. But nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care and that’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their ass every day. Because the owners in this country know the truth; it’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.

John Steinbeck put it more simply, when asked why socialism never took off in the States.
"In America, the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires." That's the power of the American Dream, and its raison d'etre, right there.
If the people hold onto their dreams, they'll never wake up.

Gangsters, we see ourselves as gangsters. We don't wanna be millionaires, we wanna be Al Capone.
Last one, but a good one to end on.

We don't have a dream in Great Britain.
We don't.
There is no British Dream.
This isn't because we lack some sort of sense moral purpose.
This isn't because we haven't got a sense of guiding destiny taking us to a better tomorrow.
No.
We don't have a dream in this country because we're awake.
It's that simple.

Whatever you say, President Fags.
And by 'faggot' you mean bundle of sticks?
Or perhaps you mean educated?

I can see Byron as a Carlin Fan. I disagree a lot of times with Carlins politics but his reasoning is so well expressed I find myself questioning my politics. Carlin and many others has had a big impact on my views on the military industrial complex and the way that Neo-Not-Conservatives hijacked the movement.
Byron's mini-tirades had a similar effect.
