How Stupid ARE you?

Do you keep voting for "Democratics" because they care about the poor and the environment?  Do you HATE the ReTHUGlicans because they're for the evil rich and evil corporations?  Sweet, you're a genius and you think like me.

You know what I like best about the genius Democratics?  I like how they block oil drilling.  I like how they fight it tooth and nail at EVERY opportunity.  I like how Obama blocked drilling in the gulf ... that's right, just blocked it.  When will it open again?  Nobody knows.  What will happen to the people who worked in that industry? Nobody knows.  But that's not what's important.  The important thing is we've got our boots on the throat of the evil oil companies.

But if you're a good lib, you know that "BIG OIL" isn't the only evil energy corporation out there ... no, no, far from it ... don't forget COAL ... EVIL, FILTHY, DISGUSTING COAL ... WE MUST STOP IT.

Meanwhile, here's my electric bill since 2004.  How is yours? This is quite the mystery, no?  Who could have predicted this?  Well, it can't continue for long, right?

Here's a little jolt from the past (2004.)

The average price for regular unleaded gasoline jumped to a record high $2.017 a gallon nationwide, the government reported, up 7.6 cents from the prior week and 52 cents from a year earlier.

Here's gas prices (and a trend line) since 2004.

Yes, and how's your family's income been doing?  No wonder we're in a recession., huh?

You know who's causing the financial hardships of the country?  That's right ... it's evil corporations.  Evil corporations are making big profits and laughing at you during this recession.  THEY were the ones (behind the scenes, of course) that caused the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco.  THEY were the ones spending our country into oblivion and breaking the back of America.  THEY are the ones writing ridiculous-ass environmental regulations and REQUIRING themselves ... voluntarily ...  to spend ridiculous amounts of money to comply.  Yes, money they could have spent on hiring people and making more money went instead to applying selfless and altruistic handcuffs to themselves.

Year after year they've increased the demands on themselves  THEY were the ones harping constantly about global warming and throwing billions of your tax money at any jackass (Al gore) who claimed to have a plan to combat it.  Yes, I know congress actually did it but these evil companies no doubt encouraged ... or even bribed them to do so.

So as time goes by, don't forget where your anger should be placed ... squarely on the shoulders of the evil rich and evil corporations ... you know ... just like the media has been telling you for decades.  Yes, it seems to me the time for pitchforks approacheth.

You know, when you think about it, this hasn't just started recently.  How long has this been going on?  What percentage of your life does this amount of time represent?  Are you young?  Do you think this will pass and that soon evil corporations will stop being the bane of your existence?

Are you old and see that this has been getting worse and worse over your lifetime and it's never going to stop now?  Do you further see how the evil corporations have stolen your freedom  (and a great deal of your money) for life ... and that it's too late now to get it back?  Well, it might be too late for you ... but what about your kids and grandkids?
