Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 28, 2014

So what else is new?

Very true ’toon.

Nope. It’s ‘Capital Hill’. AKA Congress…

I’m surprised the Constituent entrance isn’t boarded up.

Wiley spelled it “Le Capitol”

You can’t see it in the picture, but the other side of the dumpster has a label which reads: “Eat me”.It is a magical dumpster such as might be found in a Lewis Carroll story.Corporation is just another word for collective.And the Collective Loves You.

We can see Wiley doesn’t like corporations, but one has to wonder how big and lavish the entrance is for unions. Has to bigger than the corporate one.

Capitol, capital, same thing.

Steven Harper’s idea of paradise.

No. Capitol is a place. Capital is what you do with the first letter at the start of a sentence. Or, what happens to you after you have been tried and sentenced for capital crime.

then who cares!

I’m surprised the light is so bright … and still lit!

so true so sad

And true of both parties.

Oh yes, that’s right. Since the gods proclaimed that corporations are people it is altogether improper and unfitting that they have their privileges. Such as not paying taxes….

“Wiley spelled it “Le Capitol”"♦“Capitol” is correct.“’noun1. the building in Washington, D.C., used by the Congress of the U.S. for its sessions.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part of that definition is correct; But there is some doubt about the Congress actually USING it for anything

That little door wasn’t necessary – the dumpster would’ve worked just fine.

Hardthought: At the peak of union membership (long, long ago), all unions from local to international, had 5% the wealth of the single largest corporation (General Motors). You can’t buy many legislators with that inequity. And there was still a free press and no ALEC..And you are permitted to delete extra copies of your own post.

Capitol: Building. Capital: City.Hardthought, hahahahahahahah! No.

Just use “Big Money” or “Deep Pockets”……we’ll all know what that means……no spelling challenges there.

And some corporations donated to Democrats. Both corporations and unions hedge their bets. It would be interesting to learn the political affiliations of those who donated for the recent re-election of Rick Scott as Governor of Florida, for example. Especially since, as a billionaire, he didn’t actually need the money…

In the fantasy universe. But we are stuck with the real thing…

The difference between the Collective and the Collective is that one is the Collective, and the other is the Collective. One serves the Collective while the other serves the Collective. Perhaps as an individual who has little to no representation or rights that were preserved under the Constitution, you were not made aware of this by the Collective Educational System.

That’s exactly right which is why we need to BURN this mother-fucking country DOWN with the rich in it and start OVER again!!!

You will find that what I implied was that “the sign remained the same”.-—————————-

There is NO difference whatsoever betweenDemoblicans and Republicrats. They are ALLpoliticians, every last one.

Hardthought, I agree with Wiley What is this union thing you talk about? I remember something about them in history

the United Mine workers was about safety, not salaries, and Koch Industries, like Murray, could care less about safety, or workers, or the planet. No, for those outside the corporate realm, it is NOT only about the money.

Safety was the basic reason that the union movement actually got started. The Triangle Shirt Waist fire, where workers were burned alive because management kept doors locked to prevent workers from taking their fabric work home where they could take care of their children at the same time they worked, was a major stimulus to the union movement. -The destruction of federal inspection of mines has resulted in dangerous mines the have collapsed in West Virginia recently, but no increased funding provided to the federal Bureau of Mines to bring back federal inspection. If union foremen didn’t call for state inspections, there would be no inspections.-People fear unions in the US because they’ve been led to believe that unionizing workers is why jobs have gone overseas. Nothing could be further from the truth; jobs have gone overseas because federal tax laws provide incentives for them to do so. But it is convenient to keep telling US workers that unions are the real reason.-Meanwhile, take note of the way Walmart is advertising now, talking about its ‘true’ workers. This is because Walmart workers are trying to unionize. Who would have thunk it?

Why is there a ‘smiley face’ on the sign telling us where the constituent entrance is?

No. It doesn’t. Maybe try to think a bit harder next time…

Hardthought: Corporations spend a minute portion of their income on bribing politicians, and that is chiefly done with funds legally belonging to the stockholders, but without their permission. Most of the funds are stolen by upper management for their personal use. Again with the real stockholders having no say (including being thrown out of stockholders’ meetings if they raise the issue), proxies from institutions who have no interest in the corporation, as long as they get some money without working for it, keeps them in power – which is why divestment campaigns scare them so.

Sounds like what we really need is a way to keep humans from running things, since they are so corruptible and liable to fail in their responsibilities to their fellows.I know! Machine overlords!

Gee, a racist comment from rick scott. Now there’s a shocker! Not.

As always, Wiley nails it. American democracy: “One dollar, one vote”.
