Small Town Therapist Announces Awards for Saving the Country

 

 I've hoped that the governing body of this country would come to their senses and restructure the tax system so that the billionaires would be taxed. They currently make ridiculous profits. One way is for the billionaires' to pay with in kind services.  Many things would profit, pun intended, from a vast influx of cash.

This country has a deep infrastructure problem that was exacerbated during the Trump administration's four years of ineptitude. Bridges are failing, roads are crumbling, and some buildings are well beyond their sell date. Also, stunningly, even though the Biden administration has tried to play catch up, feeding more people, there's still many with food insecurity. Also our public schools continue to need help, the teachers are seriously under paid.

Does all this seem impossible to fix? It's not! Here are the tasks cheerfully assigned to the billionaires who pay a very depressing near $0% of their income and profits for our country's well being.

pigs are more caring than...

Welcome to the awards for saving our country.

1. Mr. Fly Me To the Moon Bezos: I assign the task of tackling an effective recycling program in this country. Lord knows, you have contributed, times a million, to the un-recyclable debris left in our oceans, garbage and land fills. As any good mother knows, "clean up after yourself, Jeff." Don't worry you will still have massive amounts of money and change left over from this endeavor to fly high.

2. Mr. Elon Musk: you are given the honor of repairing all the roads in this country. You supposedly care about cars and here is your chance to prove it, and perhaps the safety of the people riding in those cars. It's part of the plan to keep the U.S. safe without leaving the atmosphere.

3. The Waltons including Alice, Jim and Rob Walton: you will undertake the job of actually feeding all of those in need. How, you might ask, can there be any hunger in America? As one of the wealthiest families in the U.S. acknowledging we are one of the richest countries in the world. Perhaps you haven't grasped the full concept of sharing? Since the inception of Walmart you have ridiculously underpaid your workers and actually insisted that they get on welfare and food stamps. Wow, just look at all the money you saved for yourselves. I propose that you pay back wages in triplicate to all the former and current employees. Next it is essential that you pay back the basically hijacked monies to the U.S. government. This will enrich our food banks and social security for the nation. No impoverished person left behind, I'm sure you'll agree. 

4. Mark Zuckerberg: you of the Facebook fame who constantly decries, 'no flies on me', you have the job of making sure all of the children in the U.S. have excellent educations. This will include courses on how to figure out if someone is hustling you. Facebook has been a champ of allowing falsehoods and spreading hate and you must turn this around. Easy!  Information that is honest and true and doesn't hurt people.  You helped usher in the Trump administration and needless to say, it is now time to repent for your sins. Additionally you will give all teachers a healthy raise in pay. Onward for fairness in education, truth and justice Mr. Zuckerberg.

5. The Koch Family: Remember your wealth started with your father and has been used to despoil this country. Not nice. You basically bought politicians with your wealth and basically started the Tea Party and currently are funding Project 2025. You gave billions to the Trump election, of course, for more favors. Therefore your assignment is to devote the rest of your lives to cleaning up the environment, air, water and pollution which the Trump administration tried very hard to denigrate. We all can agree on clean air, water and healthy people for the USA, right? That's supposedly a promise of all conservatives.

 none are immortal

Years ago Maureen Dowd wrote a column in the New York Times about "Fat Cats on A Hot Tin Roof". It got me thinking about this very issue. The billionaires pay no taxes and try to convince all of us that they are good citizens. How exactly can that be? They're greedy and insensitive to the plight of ordinary, tax paying citizens. 

On a final note, you'll see that I didn't mention Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, MacKenzie Scott or Warren Buffet. This is because, although I'm sure they don't pay their fair share of taxes, all of these wealthy individuals have tried with their wealth to save humanity. They are kind and very generous with their various charities. They contribute richly to the health and welfare of the world. Thank you for the generosity.

 Since we are all going to die dear Billionaires. Wouldn't you like to err on the side of goodness and generosity with your vast wealth? You Can't Take It With You! Money can't buy you love! However, wealth, when generously shared, can purchase good will and admiration. I believe it's called a legacy. 

Love, Susan R. Grout     cheerleader for the people of this country.
