🔥 George Carlin brilliantly exposes the truth about America's 'bought elections' and shatters the illusion of freedom of choice. In his own inimitable style, he lays bare the reality of our political system and the lack of true choice we experience in important matters:
"They're not even trying to conceal it anymore. The owners of the country have bought their elect, got their election. They said, 'we're going to get this election. We put you people in that court for a reason.'
You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. These people went to the same universities and fraternities. They're on the same boards of directors. They're in the same country clubs. They have, like interest. They don't need to call a meeting. They know what's good for them and they're getting it.
And there used to be seven oil companies. Now there are three. It will soon be two. The things that matter in this country have been reduced in choice. There are two political parties. There are a handful of insurance companies. There are about six or seven information links. But if you want a bagel, there are 23 flavors. Because you have the illusion. You have the illusion of choice, right? You don't get the real important choice. There's no freedom of choice."
We need to stop the banning of books, the whitewashing of history curricula, the insertion of religion into our legislation and any appetite or tolerance for we have for exceptionalism based on race, gender, geography or faith. Our future depends upon it.
