Ownership Society

As we march into the future of America, each one of us gets bought and sold daily to corporate America. There used to be a day, when a man could sit down with his friends and do what he pleased when he was off work. Not anymore.

A man was sitting down with a group of co-workers in a restaurant drinking Coors. He worked as a warehouse supervisor for Budweiser. The son-in-law of the distributers chief shareholder saw him, and offered to buy him a Budweiser twice, and he refused to take it. Got him fired for drinking the wrong kind of beer.

He wasn't in a work uniform. He wasn't representing the company he worked for. Unfortuneately he forgot that he had "Property of Budweiser" tattooed on his ass. He is their property, not a free man. "We're putting food on your table so you could put it on theirs?"

It is all about the rights of large businesses, not about the rights of the people nowadays.
