Go Huffington Post

So I read this
article today about how there are some companies like Berkshire Hathaway that pay their taxes, unlike those bastards at GE, Exxon Mobil, Conoco Phillips, and Johnson & Johnson (not talked about in the same article but HuffPo's run stories on how terrible those companies are for not paying taxes and taking subsidies while having multi-billion dollar profits). I really love how HuffPo failed to acknowledge that Berkshire owns large swaths of shares in the same bastards (GE, Exxon Mobil, Conoco Phillips, and Johnson & Johnson) that they tear apart in their other articles.

I guess what really irks me more than anything is that I found this article up on the front page of reddit, and nowhere in the comments did anyone mention this obvious fact. Everyone gets so worked up about the state of our economy yet the average person remains fucking clueless about even the most basic facts. How can you rant about something that you know nothing about? Hasn't stopped people for the past few thousand and I guess its going to continue. I think one day I'm going to get old and tired of trying to make a difference and I'll just begin to take advantage of every fucking retard (aka 99% of the public) who fails to educate himself about things he claims to know enough about to be angry about.
