A lot of fools are going to wake up on April 1 facing a new reality of what is systemically broken in the US.

On a timeline of generational, world-altering events, we're right after the first plane hit the WTC, and before the second plane hit the other tower, simply wondering WTF is going on.

you said, "Right or wrong, there is no doubt that our system favors the productive members of society."

it's almost as if you're completely clueless about the millions and millions who work while being uninsured or under-insured.

We offer our 220 employees elite health care coverage for around $60 per month. Care to guess how many choose to opt out?? We offer employees a matching 401k up to 6%. Care to guess how many opt out? Most people are only victims of their own terrible choices.

speaking of neil peart:

Peart outgrew his Ayn Rand phase years ago, and now describes himself as a “bleeding-heart libertarian,” citing his trips to Africa as transformative. He claims to stand by the message of “The Trees,” but other than that, his bleeding-heart side seems dominant. Peart just became a U.S. citizen, and he is unlikely to vote for Rand Paul, or any Republican. Peart says that it’s “very obvious” that Paul “hates women and brown people” — and Rush sent a cease-and-desist order to get Paul to stop quoting “The Trees” in his speeches.

“For a person of my sensibility, you’re only left with the Democratic party,” says Peart, who also calls George W. Bush “an instrument of evil.” “If you’re a compassionate person at all. The whole health-care thing — denying mercy to suffering people? What? This is Christian?”
