Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

The Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him drivin' down the 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by

The only non-white person in that second link literally has "Tobacco" in their name.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/o...ealth-tax.html

Bloomberg, Dimon and Gates call liberal tax ideas unfair.

Quote:

The billionaire class has begun unloading on Elizabeth Warren. A few days ago, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase — at just $1.6 billion in net worth, a comparative piker — said Senator Warren “vilifies successful people.” Then Bill Gates ($107 billion), in an onstage interview with The Times’s Andrew Ross Sorkin, mused about what his tax bill might be in a Warren presidency and left the door open to voting for Donald Trump should Democrats nominate Ms. Warren. And then Michael Bloomberg ($52 billion), who had previously criticized Ms. Warren as anti-corporate, signaled his intention to jump into the race, obviously out of concern at her rise...

Multibillion-dollar fortunes are often called excessive and decadent. But here’s something they’re rarely called but ought to be: anti-democratic. These fortunes will destroy our democracy.

Quote:
A total of about 2.2 million households could lose access to government food assistance, while another 3.1 million may see reduced benefits, a recent analysis found.

The Trump administration is moving to curb access to food stamps, with U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue last week criticizing the 80-year-old federal program as becoming a "way of life" for too many Americans.
How the **** is it still controversial to ****ing feed people? Goddamn.

Next:

Quote:
Mr. Peters complained to Mr. Venniro that another financial adviser was trying to steal a prospective client: a woman who had just received a $372,000 wrongful death settlement after her son died. She was black.

Mr. Venniro told Mr. Peters that there was no point in his intervening in the dispute, because the woman was not a worthwhile client. “You’ve got somebody who’s coming from Section 8, never had a nickel to spend, and now she’s got $400,000,” Mr. Venniro said, referring to the federal program that provides vouchers to help with housing costs and whose title is sometimes used as a racial slur. “What do you think’s going to happen with that money? It’s gone.”

“But I thought that’s why we get involved,” Mr. Peters protested.

Mr. Venniro said no. “You’re not investing a dime for this lady,” he said. He knew from experience that she would quickly burn through the money. “It happens every single time.”

When Mr. Peters tried to argue, Mr. Venniro interjected. “This is not money she respects,” he said. “She didn’t earn it.”
This is an intense article. It’s pretty long but I recommend reading it. It’s also totally ****ing heart breaking. **** capitalism.

I hope he gets murdered.

Yeah, if there is such thing as an objective morality then America is definitely one of the most evil countries to ever exist. Period. We should, uhhh, we should try to do something about that but I don't know what.

I’d like to see Antifa target rich people and their loved ones for starters.

Nah, that's not Antifa's ideology. The fact that they are so prevalent is kind of scary. Antifa tends to form in a country like this right before a fascist regime takes over.

I don't think just discriminating against the rich helps either, I think it needs to be unscrupulous CEOs and bankers. Hang them in the streets.
