Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for September 26, 2014

I feel ya, Ducky.

“We laid you off, we keep the jobs scarce – but it’s your fault that you’re unemployed, you lazy bum!”

This is why the very wealthy can go fornicate themselves with a broken bottle!Can’t be happy with a few measly million?They gotta have it ALL…Dollars aren’t Pokemon!

Insert bitter comment from conservative troll deflecting attention from poignant commentary provided by strip over to latest completely unrelated evidence-free F*% News talking points…

We need more jobs outsourced to other countries – THAT will raise corporate profits!

Even Lucky Ducky isn’t sure he won this time. Things are not looking good.

Logic isn’t a lefty thing.And that stupid hat- where do you live, the 1950’s?

You know Bolling’s hit the mark when the ‘baggettes (well, one ’baggette and his unimaginatively-named sockpuppets) show up and start sniveling. (points into running woodchipper) Look, everyone, Michele Bachmann’s in here giving out autographs!!

I think this is just barely satire! If I hear just one more fat cat tell me that “the poor choose poverty” I’m gonna scream.

“Thanks, Bub!”“Thanks? Why?”“‘Cause if I’d gotten a job, I’d have had to pay income tax! Now I just pay sales tax on the box of crackers I get each week! Gotcha!”“(gasp) RITZ Crackers, no less! LUCKY DUCKY!!!”

Logic is by definition a “liberal thing”. Irrational ignorance, by demand, to support a “status quo” of myth causing disastrous dependence on a past that never really existed, IS “conservatism”. I’m always amazed that since Nixon and Reagan, the far right has DEMANDED to do the exact opposite of what’s in their own best interest. (Well, those in the middle and lower castes conned by the rich, anyway.)

Typically someone who is being subsidized by somebody else. “Somebody else” in this case is usually Mom and Dad, a spouse or partner (who also works for the minimum wage) or an extended family, all of whom work for the minimum wage or generate revenue in an underground or illicit economy.

But this is the American Dream.
