ykwgmg: prosperity

A healthy democracy requires vigorous debate, and in spirited opposition to the KOCH Industries Inc. funded grassroots organization, Americans For Prosperity, I would like to found the Americans for Failure, Euthanasia and Forced Abortions, or AFEFA.

Some people might think AFEFA is un-American. But hell, what isn't un-American these days? War protesting hippies are un-American, gun toting rednecks with swastika signs at town hall meetings are un-American, it's all a wash. I contend that AFEFA is perhaps the most ultra-American organization to ever grace God's green earth, because we espouse the belief that America is better than prosperity.

Ask yourself, what's the big deal with prosperity anyway? The more you have, the more you stand to lose. That's why we demand failure. Failure is easy, it can be quick, and once you hit bottom, you always know where you stand. Fact: every prosperous civilization in the history of the world has eventually failed and been replaced by a successor. It's time we break the cycle of prosperity and failure, with enduring failure. Why delay the inevitable? Let's let China take up the futile pursuit of success, because we're better than that.

Still not convinced? Consider Jesus. By modern standards, the man would be considered a complete and total failure. What do you think his FICO score would be? He might have been able to turn water into wine, but I doubt he could turn a 300 into plastic. The point is, the son of God is intended to be our supreme example, the one to show us the way to eternal life, and yet there's no way in hell he could swing a mortgage. According to his bank ledger, one would be lead to believe that bankruptcy is next to Godliness. Given this is a Christian nation shouldn't we be giving failure the chance it deserves? I think so.
