Kickass, the doorstop dog, supports the keeper in efforts to free the populace from enslavement by the money lenders, and cheers for the removal of lifetime financial shackles from young college grads.
That it is impossible to own a house or a car without paying outrageous sums to the leech-like lending crowd is bad enough, but to burden the young to the point that they cannot even participate in that outrage is a bridge too far.
On the street where the keeper and Phyllis reside, almost every third structure has been put up by the money lending industry, which contributes nothing but the shackles of financial enslavement to an oblivious populace.
If all money is to be replaced with credit devices, let there be some control and restraint, or at least a realization that everyone is forever out in the cotton fields sweating for the plantation owners.
Giving some of the students a bit of relief from the money lenders’ whip is not exactly an emancipation proclamation, but it is a start.
The worst kind of slavery is an insidious one that disguises the credit plantation shackles as diamond bracelets that everyone must have.
That last sentence is a beaut, Bill. True poetry. I reread it several times to let it soak in. Thanks!
True that.
