George Carlin - It's A BIG Club & You Ain't In It!

not too bright folks not too [ __ ] right but if you talk to one I'm about this if you isolate one time you sit him down rationally you talk to him about the low IQs and the dumb behavior and the bad decisions right away they start talking about education that's the big answer to everything education they simply need more money for education we need more more books more teachers more classrooms more schools we need more testing for the kids he said oh well you know we've tried all of that and the kids still can't pass the test so I don't you worry about that we're gonna lower the passing grades that's what they're doing a lot of these schools now they lower the passing grades some more kids can pass more kids pass the school looks good everybody's happy the IQ of the country slips another two or three points I'm pretty soon all you'll need to get into college is a [ __ ] pencil got a pencil get the [ __ ] in there it's physics then everyone wonders why 17 other countries graduate more scientists and we do education politicians know that word to use it on you politicians have traditionally hidden behind three things the flag the Bible and children No Child Left Behind No Child Left Behind oh really well it wasn't long ago you were talking about giving kids a head start Head Start left behind someone's losing [ __ ] ground here but there's a reason there's a reason there's a reason for this as a reason education sucks and it's the same reason that it will never ever ever be fixed never gonna get any better don't look for it be happy with what you got because the owners of this country don't want that I'm talking about the real owners now the real owners the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions forget the politicians the 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 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 lobbying to get what they want well we know what they want they wanted more for themselves and less for everybody else but I'll tell you what they don't want they don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking they don't want well informed well educated people capable of critical thinking they're not actually didn't met that doesn't help them that's against their interests that's right they don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they're getting [ __ ] by a system that threw them overboard thirty [ __ ] years ago they don't want that you know what they want they want obedient workers obedient workers people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork I just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours to reduce benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it and now they're coming for your Social Security money they want your [ __ ] retirement money they want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street and you know something they'll get it they'll get it all from you sooner or later because they own this [ __ ] place it's a big club and you ain't in it you and I are not in the big club by the way it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe all day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe what to think and what to buy the table is tilted folks the game is rigged and nobody seems to notice and nobody seems to care good honest hard-working people white-collar blue-collar doesn't matter what color shirt you have on good honest hard-working people continue these are people of modest means continue to elect these rich [ __ ] suckers who don't give a [ __ ] about them they don't give a [ __ ] about you they don't give a [ __ ] about you they don't care about you at all and nobody seems to notice nobody seems to care that's what the honors count on the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red white and blue dick that's being jammed up their [ __ ] everyday because the owners of this country know the truth it's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it
