Let’s be honest: you’ll never win the lottery.
On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you’ll slave away  at some miserable job the rest of your life. That’s because you were in  all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let’s face it — you’re  a member of the working caste. Sorry!
As a result, you don’t have the education, upbringing, connections,  manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact,  you’d probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the  unfair advantages we have over you. That’s why we’re so relieved to know  that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about  “justice” and “equal opportunity” in America.
Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there’s never  been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it’s already occupied  by us — and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that  way. But at least there’s usually someone lower in the social hierarchy  you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a  lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the  pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers,  prostitutes, and homeless street people.
Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure  and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all  those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to  fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian  corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave  without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the  good work!
You also probably don’t have the same greedy, compulsive drive to  possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you  may sincerely want to change the way you live, you’re also  afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a  nervous state of limbo. So you go through life mechanically playing  your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you  ever dare to “break out of the mold.”
Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it  suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized  against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female,  American workers against Japanese against Mexican against…. We  continually push your wages down by invoking “foreign competition,” “the  law of supply and demand,” “national security,” or “the bloated federal  deficit.” We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you step out of  line or jeopardize our profits. And to give you an occasional break from  the monotony of our daily economic blackmail, we allow you to  participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to  you ordinary folks as “elections.” Happily, you haven’t a clue as to  what’s really happening — instead, you blame  “Aliens,” “Tree-hugging Environmentalists,” “Niggers,” “Jews,” Welfare  Queens,” and countless others for your troubled situation.
We’re also very pleased that many of you still embrace the “work  ethic,” even though most jobs in our economy degrade the environment,  undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your  one and only life right out of you. We obviously don’t know much about  work, but we’re sure glad you do!
Of course, life could be different. Society could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You and others like you could collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don’t know that. In fact, you can’t even imagine that another way of life is possible. And that’s probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our  system — robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability  to think and act for yourself.
So we’d truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless  hearts. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. Thanks so much for “knowing your place” — without even knowing it!
Rich $cum of America
