Fight The Power!

"Just come right out and say it, 'I want your money, taxpayer!' because that's what you are really here today to say.

You come around here smiling and simpering like an innocent child, but that game doesn't play with me.  I see you for what you really are, the System.  And I don't just mean that you work for the System, or that you are a small part of it, you are the System.

Every little cog and wheel like yourself is a microcosm of the System, each part as culpable as the rest.  All it would take was for each of you to one day wake up and realize what you were doing.  Just one day open your eyes, and look around and say 'what the hell am I doing with my life?  Why am I putting on the uniform of oppression and going out today to take people's money?'  If you realized that, you could just walk away from this life.  If enough of you did that, the whole System would come crashing down.

But you can't even imagine that can you?  The thought is utterly radical and foreign to your thoughts.  You truly believe in your addled brains that you are the good guys, don't you?  That people want you to come around and push your agenda, smile in their faces while you take their money and give them garbage.  And you expect us to be grateful for your 'service,' don't you?

You traipse along in your splendid ignorance, secure in the knowledge that you are right, that your sanctimonious beliefs will make you better than the 'regular folks.'  That your shiny uniform doesn't grant you the authority to act, but the God-given mandate to make the world a better place.

Well guess what?  I reject your vision, I reject the System, and I reject you.  Moreover I denounce you. I denounce you, and all your fellow lock-stepping minions of the faceless, corrupt institution that sends you drones out to harass and shake down citizens who are just trying to hold on to what little money we have left.

And one day, you will grow up and realize you can no longer be part of the System.  You may not think so, but one day you will no longer be willing to wear their colors and follow their orders.  You will become sick of the hollow ceremony and pure meaninglessness of this existence, and you will have to leave.  You will have to, because you will know that you can no longer take part in the sham.

But until then, I denounce everything you stand for.  I despise the code you follow, the values you espouse, and the very oaths you have sworn to an outmoded, decrepit and oppressive organization."

"Oooookay.  That's....neat, mister.  Does that mean you don't want any cookies?"

"I never said that, God damn it!  Give me three boxes of Thin Mints and a Samoas and get the hell out of my sight!"
