Last Kiss by John Lustig for January 29, 2025

So we don’t have to put up with a**h**** like you two.

Yea why do we? Some of us even worship the rich.

If you vote for the rich, they make you poor.

Hey, lets park down by the river and watch the submarine races.

‘The Divine Right of the Rich’ has been pushed on the consciousness of societies for thousands of years. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, “It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.”

Kurt Vonnegut additionally wrote, “America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves.”

Choose? Nobody choosing to be poor ya steenky arrogant rich privileged dumba…achoo!

Just like in medieval England: “Being nobility is so much fun. I wonder why anyone chooses to be a serf.”

starts humming Calloway’s “I Wanna Be Rich”

The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.

Politicians are expensive… Not everybody can afford to buy one ..

“Oh, Lord, you made many, many poor people

I realize, of course, it’s no shame to be poor

But it’s no great honor either!

So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?"

That’s my US senator! (and his illegal alien mistress)

Getting everything we need and want and having someone else pay for it is the fantasy behind collectivist ideology appeals. Marx is long dead, the Soviet Union collapsed, Cuba and Venezuela failed, but the illusion will live on…

It is especially fun to be rich and powerful enough to try buying countries….or so I hear.

GUY: I heard the new Administration wants to eliminate Income Taxes.

GAL: What??? We uber-rich don’t pay income taxes anyway! We WANT the little people footing the bill for everything!

GUY: Let’s vote for that other party next time!

There are religious orders for those who would voluntarily choose a life of poverty

act rich to get laid, act poor to find love

All magats believe that being poor is a choice and everyone who is poor is so because of their own dam fault,

and

those who are rich are ‘favored by God’, which totally justifies whatever the rich have done.

Thus the mindset of the “conservatives”.

It’s more fun than you might think.
