Real America with Abe Sauer: Our Demographicracy

The Way We Live Now™ is sponsored. Everything—from athletic events to the simple act of pissing in a urinal, to hunting, one of the few pastimes we share with our ancestors—are retailed to us by corporations. Many “Americans” object to what they perceive as a nation becoming a nanny state, a centralized government that hands down scraps to the less fortunate, with which we should fashion some kind of endurable existence—but what is the difference between Washington D.C. and Madison Avenue allowing us our welfare pittance? One price is a tax bump; the other is dignity. A nation whose road and fire safety is courtesy of finger-lickin’ good chicken.
