Our Country Is A F-Ing Joke - Pay To Play - The Only Game In Town [View all]

Rich? Want something?

You can legally BRIBE enough politicians to get it.

America is a failed state.

Kinda sad isn't it.

Not rich? Just go to work, pay your insanely high taxes, and let YOUR MASTERS divide up the loot. Don't ever expect the government to do a damn thing to help your family survive. We live in a Oligarchy. Face it.
