Tweets by The Wise Sloth #19: Political Corruption, Incompetence and Voting

Cartoon image of a sloth sitting on a mountain top. He is wearing a yellow robe. His head is bowed with his eyes shut, and beams of light shine from around his head. With his left arm, he is holding one finger in the air. Above him are the words, "Tweets by The Wise Sloth."

Politicians only call companies that are big enough to fund their career, “too big to fail.”

Shortest explanation of USA politics: Most elected politicians are professional campaigners who work almost exclusively for their donors.

Soldiers protect you from terrorists. Cops protect you from criminals, and Congress protects big business’s profit margins from you.

Politicians call people who kill Americans, cowards. If that’s true, it’s more cowardly when they sell corporations the power to write laws.

It baffles me that in 2017 there are still people who believe politicians care about what people who haven’t given them money think.

You’d think humans would have learned by now, when a politician asks for more power, it’s for their benefit, at your expense.

Luckily, in America, the First Amendment allows you to speak freely about all your other rights the RNC and DNC are constantly taking away.

Just once I’d like to hear a politician advocate setting limits to how many laws a politician can break before being dishonorably discharged.

I wish the Republican Party would stop putting on pretenses and just change their name to the Fox News Party.

Charisma is a virtue, but the more intoxicatingly charismatic your leader is, the more likely they’re a sociopath and you’re gullible.

The more passionately you support any American politician, the more you should doubt your objectivity and double check you’re not wrong.

If politicians could be dishonorably discharged for negligence, bad conduct and crime, all of America’s congress would qualify for one.

If America can’t progress because the RNC & DNC can’t work together then the solution is to end the RNC & DNC.

50% of America’s children live in poverty. How many more need to before our political parties are fired?

My entire life I haven’t been waiting to see what problem my president solves next, I’ve been waiting to see what problem he creates next.

The more rules you have to follow that stress you out, the more likely your soldiers and/or politicians must be failing at their job.

The more you find yourself telling people to give your hero a second chance, the more likely you should give your hero a second look.

Uncle Sam lets us to vote on which hand he punches us in the dick with. If we don’t vote, we can’t complain when the decision is made for us.

Election Day should be a national holiday almost as much as elections shouldn’t be stacked or rigged.

Congressmen/women, who are picked by voters in single states, get to decide laws that affect every other state. Totally defeats the purpose.

Tweets by The Wise Sloth #20: Political and Economic Freedom

When the country with the largest prison population celebrates its freedoms, it’s celebrating a delusion.

If the right to vote, work, love, own a gun or live on your own terms can be taken away then they’re not rights. They’re privileges at best.

America would feel more like the land of the free if you didn’t get yelled at and punished for not mowing your lawn.

It’s not sedition if a politician acts against the will & interest of the people. It is if a person complains about corruption too much.

When your government takes away your freedoms for your own good, they’re taking the position that freedom is no good.

You’ll be told America is the land of the free until you try to enter one of its national parks. Then you’ll be told to pay up or piss off.

I have the freedom of speech and religion! Can’t wait to exercise them when bills don’t have me chained to my day job.

July 4th is the day Americans are supposed to take time to appreciate their freedoms… even if they’re not free to take that time off work.

Poor Americans live with more fear than freedoms.

Americans need licenses to do anything but go to church. As long as that line isn’t crossed, we accept having to apply/pay for our freedoms.

If your life feels like a rat race, then you don’t live in the land of the free.

Labor Day isn’t a celebration of freedom. It’s a distraction from the reality that we’re all wage slaves.

America should change its slogan from “the land of the free” to “arbeit macht frei.”

If America were the land of the free nobody would have to work 40 hours per week or die homeless.

If America is a land “of the people, by the people, for the people,” then why is it a gruesome fucking rat race?

If you don’t like America, then leave. Oh, wait. You can’t because America’s oppressive economy keeps you living paycheck to paycheck.

Every month hundreds of millions of Americans celebrate their freedom by living paycheck to paycheck.

Every year Americans celebrate their freedom by paying hundreds of dollars to renew their professional licenses that arbitrarily expired.

If it’s a sin to question your government then it’s a sin to fix corruption.

What you want your government to be like matters more than what your forefathers wanted their government to be like.

Instead of having a Republican and Democratic Party, how about a Male and Female, or Young and Old, or Employer and Employee, or anything else?

If only allowing current high school honor students to serve in Congress would seriously make America better, then why not seriously do it?

America tried to use a two-party, winner-take-all voting system to represent the will of a nation so diverse it’s known as “the great melting pot.”

If it’s vital that the president be limited to 2 terms, wouldn’t the same reasons apply to every elected position?

Congress should be held to at least the same standard of testing, tracking and consequences as testing companies hold preteen students to.

Lifelong political positions discriminate against young voters by locking in their parents’ generations’ representation in government.

There should only be one thing you have to do to become a presidential candidate: Pass the hardest government test MIT can come up with.

When a few people are stressed and pissed, change a few things. When most people are, change the fundamentals.

The president picking a vice president is like an ugly girl picking which fat friend she brings to the club to make her look better.

If you can organize a country to vote for a president every 4 years then you can organize a country to vote on important issues every year.

The biggest problem in the world right now is that not enough people are talking enough about the biggest problems in the world enough.

When I hear people say, “I’m tired of hearing people talk about Trump,” I think, “Not talking about politics is how we ended up with Trump.”

I want my tax dollars to be spent paying a group of writers to write a book titled, “Survival Guide to Life.”

Americans have proven they can’t protest without rioting. It’s about time they try something different.

At least once in my life, I’d like to hear a politician say voters should have the ability to veto politicians out of office by popular vote.

If massage therapists have to do continuing education to keep their job, so should Congress.

I’m ready for politicians to declare war on bills.

If it’s important to drug test the janitors on Capitol Hill, it’s important to drug test the people who vote on declarations of war.

The only person in the American military who isn’t required to take drug tests is the commander in chief. #OfAllPeople #RoomForOneMore?

Social issues can’t be solved if the only people talking about them and offering solutions, are the most radical members of each side.

If we need soldiers to be able to get dishonorable discharges, it must be more important for politicians to be subject to the same standard.

Instead of staffing government mostly with lawyers, we should staff it mostly with computer programmers. Couldn’t be any worse.

Poverty will always be epidemic as long as the rich are the only people allowed to make the rules.

America would be better off if every news anchor was a licensed psychologist, instead of a surreal-acting sensationalist.

If we can’t redistribute the rich’s wealth to the poor, let’s at least redistribute the taxes poor people pay to services that help them.

If anything should be illegal, charging interest on interest should be right after murder and rape.

If welfare isn’t working in your country, it doesn’t mean welfare is evil. It means your government’s bureaucracy is broken and needs fixing.

Like how businesses do random drug screenings on employees, governments should do random corruption and war crimes screening on politicians.

Since America is jailing people for doing things that hurt them, it should criminalize fanatical patriotism and making excuses for politicians.

Since America is jailing people for doing things that hurt them, they should make it illegal not to learn something new every day.

America should make a new rule that a president can’t be elected without 50% of the popular vote.

Everyone should be eligible to apply directly for any government position. Why pay for something you’re not allowed to use?

If you can’t vote directly on how 100% of your taxes are spent, then you don’t own your government. It owns you.
