It's hard out there for a pimp.
That's what they tell us. Though pimpin' ain't as popular as several years ago when the film Hustle And Flow came out and somewhat glamorized it. Well, I don't know- I didn't see it. I read an interview with the otherwise decent actor, Terrence Howard, where he seemed to be sympathizing with the plight of a young Memphis guy who, in order to put food on the table had no choice but to pimp his sister. He was researching the role he would play as a pimp.
Pretty disgusting, eh? "No choice"? Sheesh....
I'm a suburban guy so what I know about pimping is what I've seen on TV and the movies. It's certainly more violent in real life but I think they come close to capturing how pathetic it is for a human to so totally control another human being. Lest you think prostitution is a victimless crime or about a woman's *right* to do as she pleases with her body, most prostitutes are *choosing* to support a man or a drug habit rather than be Pretty Woman. You can't help but be amazed that a person would sacrifice them self solely for the betterment of another person.
Well, that's republicans for ya!
Nice segue, Ferrerman!
Well, it is. I see people in the threads and in the more real life of TV punditry, whoring for the 1% and I can't help but think of hard-working whores working for their man. These people are wearing their knees out getting the best of everything for the 1% so that something might trickle down to them. Where's the love?
There may not be any beatin's with wire hangers but it's a pimp-whore relationship, just the same. These republicans are out there every day, working for the man and against their best interests. Here's the thing: If the 1% doesn't pay their share of taxes (or doesn't pay at all!) guess who picks up their slack?
No, guess again! NOT the poor people. They don't have any money- THAT'S WHY THEY ARE POOR!
The answer is YOU, the middle/working class.
YOU pay the 1%'s taxes when they don't pay. And you also pay when they cut out services and benefits for the 99% because they feel that money can be better spent making their lives easier, rather than yours. Hey- ya can't please everybody, right?! And them other bitches- the poor one's- they don't do for daddy like YOU do...
This is why the GOP loves you if you love them. And why you show your love and why they trickle down like R. Kelly.
Who loves you, baby? Daddy Mitt does! Love him back! He'll take care of you....
