Subsidize Billionaires and Call It Economic Stimulus

Feed the Rich First. Let
the Poor Fight Over the Crumbs.

Welcome to the disturbing banquet of political deception, where the menu is designed not for the hungry, but exclusively for the avaricious elite. Here, in the grotesque hall of mirrors that politicians call governance, the wealthy dine like kings while the poor scrape their plates for crumbs. The tactic? Subsidizing billionaires and masquerading it as “economic stimulus.” This isn’t just a scandal; it’s a malignant con, a sick joke played at the expense of democracy itself.

Starving the Little Guys: It starts with a slick corporate buffet where the elite are the only invited guests. When the fruit of our labor starts to rot, politicians don’t run to assist the beleaguered small business owner or the waitress struggling to make ends meet. No, they flip the menu upside down—until the only thing that’s served is a lavish plate of tax breaks and bailouts for corporations that already monopolize our economy. The excuse? “Corporate sponsors need our support.” In truth, they’re not merely supporters; they’re the puppeteers orchestrating the grand deceit. So, when your elected official hands out taxpayer dollars like candy at a circus, remind yourself—it’s a well-rehearsed act in the ultimate political illusion.

Rebranding Welfare as Worship: Once the mechanics of this operation are set, the language shifts to suit the benefactors. “Tax cuts for the wealthy” become “trickle-down recovery.” Do you remember the fairy tales that promised riches for all if we simply worshipped the millionaires? The reality is more twisted: while you question your monthly budget, they’re off toasting their “heroic” economic leadership with champagne flutes filled with public funds. Justifying such flagrant theft under the guise of growth is a masterstroke in manipulation—donors don’t just donate; they purchase the right to reproduce their success narratives at your expense.

The Haunting of Innovation: As hollow promises intertwine with glitzy rhetoric, the marketing tactics deepen. Government handouts, once a necessary evil, are rebranded as “stimulus for innovation” – an empty phrase wrapped in the cheese of progress. Each time a government official declares new prosperity on the way, the underlying truth remains: for every fancy job title they pitch, dozens of real jobs crash and burn. They bomb your optimism with sweet nothings designed for social media spins, leaving the working class to fend for themselves amidst the ruins, like characters in a horror movie waiting for the next jolt that won’t come.

Creating Jobless Heroes: What’s worse than losing your job? Convincing yourself that you were never meant to have one. In this nightmarish narrative, the rich aren’t job creators; they’re storytellers, spinning tales of the “next big thing” while you drown in the pit of despair. Keep the plots glossy and the protagonists shiny, while the true stories—the struggles of working families—remain relegated to the shadows. Who needs the dull weight of reality when you can serve up hope with a side of cynicism? The only thing becoming more elusive than jobs are the dreams attached to them.

Enjoying the Spoils: Finally, when the game is played, it’s time to reap the rewards. Politicians, armed with persuasive charm and a touch of malice, roll out the red carpet for their corporate cronies while the public is left to argue over scraps like dogs fighting for a bone. It’s a deftly orchestrated farce: while they indulge in political feasts, you’re left losing sleep over whether to buy groceries or keep the lights on. What’s their win? The thrill of watching you squabble like desperate scavengers, while they revel in the spoils—laughing all the way to the bank.

This grotesque ballet of corruption is artfully choreographed to keep you distracted from the punchline: you’ve been played. But here’s the lesson for you, the voter: don’t let them keep slitting your throat while they gather around the table to feast. This isn’t satire; this is your daily reality—the very game your politicians are playing, where the rich are treated as sacred cows while the honest struggle to survive. Remember, not every politician is corrupt, but a system designed to replace integrity with loyalty can only breed wolves in sheep’s clothing. The next time someone tries to serve you the “trickle-down” miracle, question it like the con it truly is. Stay vigilant, demand transparency, and never stop seeking the truth buried under layers of bureaucratic lies. Your sanity, and your dignity, depend on it.
