George Carlin: "It's Called the American Dream Because You Have to Be Asleep To Believe It"

Carlin, "There's a reason education sucks and it'll never get any better, because the owners of this country don't want it better."

[This video] clip ... is tough, gruff George Carlin routine from his stand up special, "This Life is Worth Losing." He starts out slamming America's education system and moves on to how the corporations and business interests have Americans "by the balls." Carlin says the people that run this country want nothing more than "obedient workers" and now they want our social security money and retirement. "It's a big club and you and I aren't in it," says Carlin. Check out the video to your right for more harsh but funny truths.

George Carlin has always struck me as a closet Marxist, or at least a socialist sympathizer. His popularity is largely due to his irreverence and general anti-authoritarian outlook but he can make even the most die-hard Republican say "that's a good point" when talking about corporatism.

And that is why I love him.
