How many are getting squeezed?

Imagine this in America.

You go to work each day. 

You work to put food on the table, a roof over your head, and gas in your tank. 

You work hard. 

All the while, work squeezes you. 

They squeeze you for extra duties without extra pay. 

They squeeze you for more work, without more pay. 

They squeeze you to not use that paid time off. 

They squeeze you to clock out but finish up anyways.

You get that paycheque and they squeeze money out of it. 

You pay more in taxes on that paycheque than the biggest companies! 

You pay more in taxes than all those elites. 

You get squeezed again when you pay for your health insurance. 

But if you actually use what you pay for it costs you extra?!? 

Is it a copay or a co-squeeze? You get squeezed even more when you need that insurance for your eyes or your teeth. 

You put what money is left in a bank. Like you’ve been told to. 

Then that bank squeezes you with fees - Overdraft fees, dormant account fees, ATM fees. 

They squeeze you with that nonexistent interest your money gains. 

And after all of that squeezing you know what they do? 

They turn around and gamble your money away. 

They play their shell game.

So you wise up. 

You learn a few things. 

You invest your money. 

But your broker squeezes you by front running your trade. 

They squeeze money out of you by selling your order flow to market makers. 

They squeeze an imaginary share into your account, an I Owe You (IOU).

And let me remind you that an “I owe you” only works one way when you deal with Wall Street.

They can create as many shares as they want.

Now, did you save up money to buy a house? 

Sorry, you’ve been squeezed out of the housing market. 

So now you have to rent. 

Squeezed out of the ability to earn equity on place you live in. 

Oh, and we are going to squeeze you on rent because inflation is running rampant.

They will squeeze every penny out of your grandparents pension. 

They will squeeze every dollar out of your parents 401k. 

They are trying to find a way to squeeze every dollar out of social security.

They squeeze the struggling family that lives down the street. 

They squeeze every last drop out of you and me. 

Generation after generation, they squeeze. 

From the moment you are born till you die, you are squeezed for everything you have.

They will squeeze you because they want more. 

There is no number in mind, just more. 

They squeeze your children or grandchildren’s future by injecting jet fuel into the money printers and running them 24/7 for YEARS! 

They squeeze those of us that actually create something. 

Those of you that provide a real service. 

Those of you that work at ungrateful companies that steal record profits. 

They must have more, so they clamp down on you and me.

They clamp down on everyone trying to make it to their next meal or those trying to make a difference.

Yet you’ve done your homework.

Gamestop.

You saw through the mirage. 

You’ve placed your bet and you are holding the best hand. 

So let me ask you a really important question. And I want you to reflect on it.

I want you truly understand this question. 

Let this question take a swim in the depths of your soul. 

Say it in your head over and over and over again.

How hard are you going to squeeze them?

You have the power now.

Squeeze the old guard out of existence.
