The Sheep Are (Were?) Asleep! by Alfred N.Muggins

19/12/25
      So how was it that after years of study and education that young Americans grew up to be the sheep who grazed upon the American Dream, a subservient labour force for the capitalists who bought and sold their employer corporations to the highest bidder, and used the profits they made to fund the livelihoods of their subject politicians with campaign funds and bribes, so they could pervert the state towards their own purposes.
     Didn't they realise the Federal and State Governments, paid for by their tax dollars, were being raided and plundered by pirates and predators, controlled by lobby groups and even foreign powers? Policy favours and pardons were being sold for a lot of money, and where were the proceeds of this corruption being kept? In the pockets of the high officials and the President?
    The Public Debt was driven higher and higher as more money was found for Israel, for Argentina, and for the regime's private army ICE!
    So the Nation pays its taxes, but the Regime forces it further into debt, by its gratuitous expenditures, awarding its own oligarch backers with generous government contracts and tax reductions, while the ordinary citizens find the quality and quantity of their public services slashed again and again. Support for their healthcare premiums is cut completely, so all will have to pay far more, or forego the protection of healthcare.
     The Sheep are surely asleep, for would a woke (awake!) man or woman not resist or at least vote against the burglar when a burglar is in their home taking away the things which have already been paid for by their tax dollars?
Part 2
     Alfred imagined Trumpenstein might have been one of the worst pupils. Perhaps he was bullied at school? or maybe by his hard nosed father? So when he, the spoiled child, grew up he became the bully, so no one else, except the creditors he was beholden to, could be above him. He refused to pay his contractors. He attacked them with legal threats or excuses. He borrowed from everyone, and rarely paid them back, bankrupting casinos, hotels and companies he 'ran'. Now he was doing it to the whole Nation!
    But the Sheep didn't mind their government being burgled. They didn't think of it as theirs anyway. Watch the burglar stripping your Great Nation of its public services and health support, and even voting for him, so he can take even more of the Nation's wealth, and screw up an otherwise fairly successful economy.
     Open up the fridge door and let the Pigs feed! There will be nothing left for the Sheep when they have finished feeding!
