The Reason Education Sucks

these people these people are efficient professional compulsive consumers that's that they think of that as their as the the their national pride it's their civic duty consumption it's the new national pastime [ __ ] baseball its consumption the only true lasting American value that's left buying things buying things people spending money they don't have on things they don't need money they don't have on things they don't need so they can max out their credit cards and spend the rest of their lives paying 18% interest on something to cost 1250 and they didn't like it when they got at home anyway not too bright folks not too [ __ ] bright but if you talk to one time about this if you isolate one time you sit them 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 said we need more money for education we need 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 they 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 there's a reason education sucks it's the same reason that it will never ever ever be fixed never going to 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 big reach of wealthy that the real owners the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions forget the politicians they're their daran irrelevant 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 media news 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 want 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 interested in that that doesn't help them that's against their interests that's great you know something 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 and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced 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 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 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 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 at all at all you know and nobody seems to notice nobody seems to care that's what the owners 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
