And We Have a Plan

[Song Playing: Coldplay - Trouble]

(G. Carlin) Because the owners of this country don't want that.

I'm talking about the real owners, now. Big wealthy business interests

that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. Politicians are put there to give you the idea

that you have freedom of choice. You don't!

You have no choice. You have owners. They own you.

They own everything. They own all the important land.

They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought

and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State Houses, the City Halls.

They've got the judges in their back pockets

and they own all the big media companies so they control

just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

They got you by the balls!

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want.

They'll get it all from you sooner or later

because they own this fucking place. It's a big club

and you ain't in it!

You and I are not in the big club.

Nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.

Good honest hardworking people (white collar, blue collar

doesn't matter what color shirt you have on) continue to elect

these rich cock-suckers who don't give a fuck about them.

They don't give a fuck about you. They don't give a fuck about you!

They don't care about you, at all...

(P. Joseph) If oil companies know that they can make more money

by having their items scarce, the propensity to deliberately limit production

and disregard social concern or simply be dishonest outright

about available resources is very high.

The same goes, unfortunately, for every other socially dire problem

such as environment pollution.

The more polluted our water tables and taps become

the more industry can compensate by offering profitable solutions.

This creates a perverse reinforcement of indifference

to environmental concern by industry

for the more damage there is, the more money that can be made.

It is simply how the game is set up, and the psychological ramifications

are sick and profound.

(R. Meadows) Money doesn't have any value at all.

There's no gold or anything to back it up.

It's just a picture on a cheap piece of paper

with an agreement amongst people as to what it can buy

and I would say a forced agreement

because we really don't regulate the prices of things.

People think in terms of wanting a job

to get the money, to buy the things that they need.

If they really thought about it, it's not the job

or the money that people need, but access to the necessities of life.

Many cultures tell their people that they are free

but really you're only as free as your purchasing power.

If this is still confusing to you, consider this:

If a group of people were stranded on an island

and they had gold, diamonds, money

but the island had no arable land

no clean water and no fish

their wealth would be irrelevant to their survival.

Money is not what people need

but rather its the necessities of life.

(Charlie Veitch) Consume until we have no planet left to consume.

What you need to do is buy things that you don't need.

That's the best way to support the economy.
