The Political Evangelist

Kadizzle drives his wife, and children nuts when he shops. Kadizzle is a political evangelist.  You know those people who ask you " Have you found Jesus?", well Kadizzle is the political version.  Kadizzle approaches a store employee stocking shelves and ask them " Do you know that people who make over 118,000 dollars don't pay a cent of social security on any dollar they make over that amount".   "Gee I had no idea" , they reply.  Then Kadizzle explains how the Republicans are going to ask them to work until they drop rather than make the rich pay social security like everyone else.  The conversation then evolves into voting.  This is the sad part. The very people who are stomped down the most by Republican policies never vote.  These slaves could vote for their own freedom, but don't.  Of course the Republicans don't want the minimum wage gang to vote.  If voting took place on a holiday or on weekends perhaps the poor would vote.  The saddest thing of all is how ill informed the working poor are.  Most of them say, " I don't pay any attention to that stuff".

Your typical person at the checkout counter at the grocery store only cares if the flat screen tv works, the house has heat, there is enough cat food, gas for the car, and beer in the refrigerator.  These people feel beat down, hopeless, and live from one paycheck to the next.  So when they go out in front of the store to smoke it never occurs to them that they do not have adequate health care to pay for the cancer they are inviting into their lungs.  

Yesterday Kadizzle was in Walmart and asked one of the enslaved employees if they knew that the head of Walmart makes $8000 dollars per hour.  The employ said he was unaware, and he did not care.  Imagine if you walked into a slave shack in 1845 and asked the slave the same question.  You asked the slave eating the weeds he picked if he knew the master was in his house eating a ham from the pigs the slave raised.  Could you imagine the slave saying " I don't care, I am just happy to have a job".  That is what the Walmart slave said.  The slave in 1845 knew he was being abused and exploited.  The 1845 slave knew he was the engine behind the plantation.  In 2015 the slaves in Walmart think there would be no Chinese junk for poor people were it not for the Walmart Gods that are nice enough to give them a welfare wage.  What happened to education in this country?
