Of course what's a blog post without some entertaining art to go along with it..... before I continue lets look at some more amusing art. READY......SET.....GO!!!
The last picture above is how I felt after watching Michael Moore's movie. How many of us are actually sure about the road ahead of us? It doesn't matter what each an everyone's worries might be but we're all concerned about the future and what is waiting for us. I will admit I might not know too much on capitalism and how it truly works but based off of the bad parts of capitalism, I can say I am not too fond of it.
What are we supporting? Are we supporting cheap labor across seas? Are we watching children starve in other countries? Does the government really have true and honest people working or are they just being run by big business? This movie definitely leaves you wondering and asking a lot of questions.
I, again admit that I do not have a strong background on what capitalism is but the last time I remembered anything from history/government class is that when BIG business fails.... it truly FAILS. There is no government BAILOUTS. There is not light at the end of the tunnel. The rich can do as they please as they get richer but the middle class has to pay for all of the mistakes. I watched my parents almost lose their home after the recession hit. My mom's hours we're cut in half as well as she lost some of her pay. My dad lost his job and fell into a state of depression. My mother had to get a second job just to maintain all of the unexpected bills. To this day my mom is still working two jobs. With her hard work she has managed to keep her house and she is doing it on her own. My dad is not longer able to work and at least he is receiving some help from his disability to help my mother out but even still she struggles paycheck to paycheck. So does capitalism work for the working class????? I'm not so sure!
Before I go I must send you of with one more piece of art!
When I watched that movie, I thought screw capitalism, however my friend, I believe to talk about something we must know both its positive and negative side.
