George Carlin "The American Dream" Best 3 Minutes of His Career
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
This video has been claimed falsely by WMG several times, and I am arguing with Youtube about it's content, but here is a transcript also: "There's a reason education SUCKS, and it's the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better, don't look for it, be happy with what you've got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions -- forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. YOU DON'T. You have no choice. You have OWNERS. They OWN YOU. They own EVERYTHING. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations; they've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State houses, the City Halls; they've got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They gotcha by the BALLS. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying -- lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want -- they want MORE for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They DON'T want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that, that doesn't help them. That's against their interests. That's right. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting FUCKED by system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin' years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want? They want OBEDIENT WORKERS. OBEDIENT WORKERS. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passably accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're comin' for your SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it BACK. So they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it ALL from you sooner or later -- 'cuz they OWN this fuckin' place. It's a big CLUB. And YOU AIN'T IN IT. You and I are NOT IN the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long, beating you over the in their media telling you what to believe -- what to think -- and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-workin people -- white collar, blue collar -- doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-workin people CONTINUE -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these RICH COCKSUCKERS who don't GIVE a fuck about them. They don't give a fuck about you, they don't GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. T HEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU -- AT ALL. AT ALL. AT ALL. You know? And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care ... that's what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth -- it's called the American Dream ... 'cuz you have to be asleep to believe it." George Carlin's Final Words To The World...

Well I was born the son of a miner , my whole family where miners and ship builders . I have never been rich or even close to rich but I have been married 32 years mostly happy , had good health most of my life , brought up 4 kids as good moral people who are all standing on their own two feet , managed to pay all my bills and never asked for help from anyone . I live in my own house close to wonderful open countryside and also close to a stunning coast line .I am very very lucky . I have never wanted money other than be able to pay my way and I think I am a lot happier than most rich famous people I see , so if that is the standard to aim for , I am glad I am not in the race . I am not clever enough or have enough energy to deal with anything else . Let them rule the world they are welcome to it all . it will benefit them not one jot in the long run .

As time goes by this guy is proving to be one of the most remarkably prescient individuals, dare I say prophets (?), we have ever seen in our times. He mentions Social Security. Guess what's emblazoned across an article in today's NY Times web site>

The reality of the Trump election is that most of his supporters were in favor of a change from the current system which is outlined by George here in this video, and in many other videos of his stand up where he describes the liberal, bourgeois uprising. When carlin said it everyone laughed and agreed fully. But now instead of being recognized as supporters of real change, those same supporters are labeled as racists because of some very bland, off color comments made by Trump.

This man makes me believe in humans somehow.Greatest comedian to ever live,smartest too hands down.
-
he is one of the greatest stand up comics of all time I loved him and he's telling the fucking truth we are not in the club !!!us wage slaves white black green don't matter if you're a wage slave like me you are not in the club that George is speaking of miss this man!!!!!!
-
And this was years ago and no one listened
-
It was relevant then, but I didn't see it because of my naïveté and belief in the power of the people and "good" politicians. Now I see it more clearly. "The people" are too fucking tired to do more than click a button on Facebook. I do still believe, though, that government by the people is possible. It's just not likely.

Trump hasn't even been inaugurated yet, but he and Paul Ryan are already talking about their plans to transfer billions of $ of American workers Social Security and Medicare funds to their criminal friends on Wall Street by "privatizing" it! We saw how well "deregulating" Wall St. worked in 2008 under Bush/Cheney when taxpayers have to give the corrupt Wall St. bankers trillion $ bailouts. Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?
Yet middle class voters who are willfully ignorant somehow thought it was a good idea to elect a rich narcissistic cock sucker with a long record of fraud and corruption like Trump because they believed that he cares about them and will protect their interests? Oh thats right, they liked watching him on the Celebrity Apprentice. It's like watching a slow motion train wreck...horrifying but you can't stop watching. -
Never say "never."
-
Actually they already gave that money to their criminal friends on Wall Street. Their nightmare is that they might have to pay it back.
-
Rarely do we come across someone with the balls to call things for what they are. Everyday, less and less people are able to express his/her ideas freely, without fear of being chastised, even to death. Political correctness is choking us, at the same time that the assholes in charge preach of democracy, freedom, justice and equality...and many still listen and believe their bullshit!

This is how trump got elected.
