The 1% always makes sure there is a myth surrounding them. Their entitlements and privileges are justifiable--God Given--of course they are!
It used to be the Divine Right of Kings, but here in America our Supine Court (Supreme Court, you say? When was that?) has brought us into an era of The Divine Right of Corporations.
As always, there's well-armed police to enforce the rules upon peasants, like upon people whose property is "in the way" of an oil or gas pipeline. Oh, you say, those are not people, those are Indians and who gives a f**k about some old treaty! Pipelines and gas wells poison white people, ruin their farms and kill their dairy cattle, too, you know. Just look it up.
Don't think you are a peasant? Check out what Jeff Bezos makes an hour and then feel free to change your mind. Per hour, he makes a whopping $8,961,187, roughly 315 times Amazon's $28,466 median annual worker pay.
Well, okay, maybe you don't feel like a peasant. You have an RV and two houses. Okay.
I'll grant you are not a peasant, but only if you also have a Yacht moored in Monte Carlo named "Chapter 11" and a bodacious boat babe or two to go with it.
IF you are one of Corporations' Chosen Ones, you are probably not reading this blog.
