more pocket lining





Sikorsky Aircraft makes the Black Hawk helicopter. The CEO is George David ( i was always a bit freaked out by people with two first names). in 2005 George David made 58 million dollars. Yes, over a million dollars a week.

over $25,000 an hour.

near $500 a minute.

Over 5000 times the annual pay of a minimum wage worker.

He has an apartment in Manhattan with 9 bathrooms.

In 2004 he was paid 88 million.

for the past month, the 3600 workers at his company went on strike because David demanded they pay twice as much on their health care co-pays.

it would have cost him 31 cents per hour to keep the worker health benefits whole.

the workers lost.

and that is the USA today. good times...

First off... how much money does a man need to make this life comfortable enough to live in? I mean really Mr. David, is this cushy enough for you yet?

Second... Do you really think that men who get paid this much money won't falsify evidence to go to war so they bankrupt a surplus and give it all to their friends? Won't steal two elections by whatever means necessary? Won't use tactical nuclear weapons on Iran? Won't let a city flood so they can make money off the reconstruction? Won't kill their own soldier/NFL football hero who would have come home and protested the war? And finally... Won't sacrifice the lives of 3,000 people by crashing planes into two towers in order to get EVERYTHING THEY EVER WANTED?

I'm irrational right? Has it come to that? I'm irrational and war is rational. George David's paycheck is rational. American Taxpayers paying 5 Billion last year in defense contracts to murder innocent people while they don't have enough money for health insurance...

rational.

Above are the insides of men's suit pockets, cast in stone. I have been making them without getting paid for the past two days.

George David made over 1000 dollars while you read this post.
