Why are we resigned to there being a trillionaire in the future when it hasn't happened yet? There is time to stop it from happening. We can just kill them.

We're all to afraid and too fat to actually eat the rich and guillotine 'em. As long as we have social media to get out frustrations out, Colts football games to watch and Baja Blast to drink we aren't gonna do a goddamn thing.
