Am I the only one who thinks that spending $40,000+ on a
ticket to sit with the president–or a presidential candidate for that matter–and
eat or listen to him ramble is the most fucking ridiculous thing pretty much
ever? First of all, since you’re doing all this preaching about trying to help
the middle class get better jobs and make more money, do you really think they will
be able to afford such things? The median household income for most Americans is
around $49,445 (according to the 2010 Census Bureau, I didn’t make that up). Hmm.
Something doesn’t quite equal out.
“Let’s see…I make $30,000 a year but I reeeeally want to see the president live
and have lunch at some celebrity’s house so I can see a bunch of other whores
that are filthy rich and throwing their money around like it’s scrap paper. I
think I’ll take out a loan or get a second mortgage on my house! Yes! The housing
market is back up and doing well, right? Wait. Is it? Oh well. It’s the PODUS!
He’ll help me pay it back if he gets elected again. I could meet George Clooney
at his house?? Put me down for 2
tickets.”
I would imagine that this is what the president and the
presidential candidate(s) think we’re thinking. There are, however, a select
few who can read straight through a line of bullshit when they see one. What would
you get out of paying that much dinero to see el presidente? Nada. Zilch. Zero.
Oh wait, there is the possibility that a photograph could be taken with the
president and you, but you’d have to pay more for that. What’s that? You want him
to sit at the same table as you? Price just went up again. Did you…? What? Oh,
price just went up again.
Blasphemy!
