La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for August 16, 2011

Oh Boy!

Get with it Pat, the new derogatory word is “rich”. By the way, what was the bottom line of page 1 on our trusted leader’s 1040?

Frightened whites will give the republican nomination to Perry, who’ll pick Bachmann to run with him.

..awww,poor litle rich people being called rich…how would you like it if you woke up rich one day?…

Sometimes even a leftist cartoon gets it right.

The GOP (along with American society in general) has done a pretty good job of marginalizing the racists; now if only they can keep the religious nuts from getting Obama re-elected.

It’s almost enough to make Romney look good, unless we find that he wears magical Mormon underwear (you can Google it) like his father did. But even if he doesn’t believe Jesus visited America, we could then get ORomneyCare, which wouldn’t be any better.

Clark Kent is NOT one of “we the people”, because it is common knowledge he is not even HUMAN!! Let’s face it, Clark; that glasses thing doesn’t fool anyone anymore.

And some people DO wake up rich one day; haven’t you ever heard of an overnight success? Or Charles Foster Kane? Or mega-million lottery winners? (If I had a billion dollars I’d give you a few million. That would show you!.)

Lets see, who among us has worked for great wealth at the expense (no pun) of everything else in our lives. Spent four years not only getting great grades, but more importantly making contacts and interning the right businesses. After that spent our 20s putting in 100 + hour weeks and betting the roof over our heads on our dream. Bill Gates borrowed $5 grand on his dream. He could have easily failed.Oh, but you took your sheepskin, got a fourty hour week position (perhaps hourly), fell in love, got married, shackled yourself to a 30 year loan, had kids ($225.000 each), and took weekends off to cultivate crabgrass.You made your decision in grade school. Personal comfort and family life was more important than wealth. Live with it, or consider yourself a failure. I don’t care but realize some chose a different path. They have wealth, you have 3 kids with mumps. It was your choice.

I ask this in all sincerity: Where did you learn your prejudice against the rich? At your mother’s knee? In church? At school? University? The Daily Worker? (I have often asked this question and nobody has ever answered. I’d truly like to know.)
