Bic Lighters and People

[old man 76]

I have watched, read and listened to the Republican presidential hopefuls for a month or two. The only conclusion I have reached is freewheeling capitalism. Dump all social programs. End all rules and regulations that might inconvenience businesses regardless of the consequences. Wage war anywhere in the world where money is too be made. The common person is no more valuable than a Bic lighter. Get whatever you can out of them then toss them in the garbage.

"Unchecked supercapitalism produces waste as inevitably as it produces inequality, job insecurity, loss of community and so on…."
