The Home of a Presbyterian Cat!

    What would you think if you found out the company you work for, takes out life insurance policies on you and your fellow employees? Would your attitude change if you heard that these policies are called "Dead Peasant" policies. Now that's a nice touch isn't it. You've worked for I.M. Greedy, Inc., for fifty years. They give you a gold watch and show you the door. Then, when you die, they get paid. Sometimes they get paid in millions of dollars.

    Now of course, our responsible cooperate citizens could be applauded for planning. After all it can take a lot of time and training to fill some positions like those of a CEO, a CFO, and a Walmart Greeter. Yep, even we can get it to you cheaper, while exploiting child labor, takes out insurance on their employees. And do they pass some of this money on to the now needy family?  . . . . . .Sorry about the break there. I couldn't stop laughing. They keep this money to themselves. The difference between the premiums and the pay out is sheer profit and their employees are simply the dead cash cows.  

    I don't know about the rest of you, but this is starting to remind me of some stories. 1984 is a good one. After all if we are now peasants, how long will it be before workers will need to swear allegiance to their employeers, and then how long will it be until the workers are owned like cattle.  Add this to all the public surveillance cameras going up and its time to go back and read that book.T he Matrix, a recent series of movies seems to be an interesting parallel too. We are being plugged into the corporate machine at more and more level. How long will it be before all we do is to provide power or nutrients for the good of the company?

   All of this might sound like the ravings of a cranky cat. But look at the growing gap between the rich and the middle class, Look at the efforts of an elite to keep poor people from getting health  care.    Time to wake up folks and look to the ballot boxes. And remember, the Republirats and their greedy friends are the ones who got us in this mess.  Oh, and if you don't believe me about these polices, do a google search and find out for yourself.
