Welfare for bullies

Since the right-wing thought police insists on dredging up zombies like Steve Stockman and Roy Moore, I'm gonna do them one better by bringing up an even older calamity they've never allowed to be honestly discussed in any mainstream venue. They've led a cover-up for almost 30 years of one of the worst campaigns of school harassment ever recorded, and while I've covered it extensively, the painstream media has flatly refused to hold the culprits accountable.

Here's an aspect of this crusade that's truly baffled me. While the perps talk smack about everybody else being lazy, is there any evidence that a single one of them has ever sullied their hands with actual work? They do come from privileged backgrounds, but is there any evidence of their parents ever doing any work to get where they were? How did they afford their mansions and fleets - I'm talking fleets - of cars?

I know they didn't work, because - once they were old enough to work - I used to encounter them almost all hours of the day at sites that were obviously not their workplaces. When they did have jobs, it couldn't have been for very long, because what employer would tolerate them using office phones to make harassing calls 24/7?

If they did have a job for long, it was actually a form of welfare from their employer - since they clearly didn't perform any labor. I do know some of them got some very high-paying positions because of their clout. But they didn't work.

For many of these wealthy criminals, I've never found proof that they've even nominally held a job. So it's safe to say they're probably secretly being given free money by local government because they have friends in high places. It's welfare for rich felons, if you will.

Because their families' clout let them coast through school, they never learned shit. So what jobs are they even qualified to do? For them, it's been easier to loaf on our dime than to work their asses off all through school like I did. I have dyslexia, and I've never been rich like them, so think how much harder I had to toil just to get passing grades. I don't think they'll ever turn over a new leaf, so they're never going to feel the shame of living lives of sloth.

Maybe this is why - even now - there are still millions who vote to continue this unsustainable swindle. They thrash about as they retreat further into the hinterlands, but they're still out there, running on empty. Our side is bold and full of new ideas to promote economic justice and civil liberties. Their side has...Steve Stockman and Roy Moore.

The Far Right doesn't want their campaign of school harassment discussed on level terms, because they have no defense.
