We didn't chose our leaders. Leaders got billions because we chose to do nothing.

Why do you think corporations strive in America and at the same time the people gets the shit (bad labour laws, bad healthcare, bad wages) compared to Europe? Because they're better?

Fuck no, it's because of Europe. The founding fathers created a "weak" government on purpose, leaving the power to we the people. Why do you think we're the only country in the world with a Second Amendment?

(Except Mexico and Guatemala but that's a different story...)

But guess what, Americans are lazy, we had a duty and we didn't answer the call... so who filled the hole? People with ambitions. And people with ambitions create companies, and companies value profits, not wellbeing.

We didn't chose billionaires. Billionaires got billions because we chose to do nothing.

Speaking of guillotines..

Can anyone here edit videos?

I have an original piece of music of about 1 minute length, I was hoping to work with someone on adding images of rich people mixed what short clips of a rising guillotine blade or something like that.

The audio is ready. I was thinking of editing some video for it myself, but it is not really my area of expertise..

But you did choose those leaders, by accepting the two party system and always voting for the lesser evil. The phenomenon of ‘the lesser evil’ isn’t born out of necessity, it is manufactured, so the people who have money can earn even more wealth and power every 4 years by giving you their option for leadership.

I like the idea of the guillotine, but those blades have never been sharpened in the US… you always liked your less evil leaders.
