As a member of the coveted “1 percent,” I am relieved and ecstatic that the new administration virtually guarantees my free benefits will continue to flow unabatedly. I was worried that with all the noise being generated by Sanders supporters and other blatant socialists that my pipeline could be constricted or redirected in favor of their whining about rights to basic necessities.

My confidence has been restored in a government. I can count on [it] to pay ever increasing amounts for police and military protection that essentially benefit solely my private property and that of my peers, and we don’t even pay taxes. All this free protection for our holdings. Is this a great country for us or what? The liberals and minimum wage earners, losers who pay taxes, have got us covered, meanwhile looking at us as idols or as just regular people whose ranks they’ll be joining soon (LOL).

What should I do with all this wealth I’m hoarding and which my country’s military might insures I’ll hold onto? Should I create jobs? (LOL) Just what I want to do, begin paying all the overhead, workers’ comp, payroll taxes, additional insurance, wages, benefits, lawsuits and all the myriad drains on my fortune caused by job creation. I didn’t get where I am by not knowing a bad investment when I see one.

Of course my money is going to the Caymans, just like any of us who know where true security lies. And thanks again to you taxpayers for your continued and unabated supply of free military, police, legal and corporate infrastructure in support, enhancement and protection of my private property and assets. It’s great living at the level where stuff is really free.
