We'd like to thank you. Because you make it easy for us and we know you'll never win the lottery. We control that and know exactly who will, in fact we control all money.
On the other hand, it's a sure bet that you'll slave away at some miserable job your entire life. That's because you were born into the wrong social faction, you're a member of the paid slaves. Live with it, we are certainly happy about it!
You don't have the education, connections, or callous disregard for you fellows to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd need a book the size of small bus to list all the ridiculously unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those clever fairy tales about justice, equal rights and opportunity that we have told you over the centuries.
Of course, in our hierarchical system, there's never much room at the top. and as it's already occupied by us, we intend to keep it that way. But at least we do provide you with someone lower in the social hierarchy so that you can feel superior. It helps us maintain control to by fostering envy and greed. Even a lowly politician can easily find some poor paid slave further down ladder to sneer and make fun of. So be grateful for all the unemployed, migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless people we create. They let you get to feel superior, we understand this need.
We cannot allow everyone like you to be economically secure and socially privileged, who would do all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs for us? And who would go to fight our wars so that we can cash in on demolition and rebuilding projects? Who would blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions? Not to mention going meekly go to your grave without having been able to live a full and creative life. We are truly grateful you are all so blind!
You don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth and power, to own and control that we have. We know you don't! We have studied you for centuries, you have those weird things you call feelings. We know there not true as none of us have ever had any! But some of you have tricked us with them in the past and we have learned.
You go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, parroting the latest story we decide to give you, kept in line by your fellow paid slaves! We don't have to do a thing! Just top up the story and offer the odd distraction to keep you happy.
Of course we play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes, black against white, male against female, old against young, we point out your differences at every turn. We continually lower your wages by every means we can think of and sometimes just because we can. We also tax everything, true you are dodging the air tax but we will get it, we just need to name it right and find the right motivation. We really left the Global warming / Carbon tax run a little late and some of you started to notice it was getting cooler. If too many of you ever do start to think we make you unemployed in a depression or stock market grab, if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits we ensure an appropriate war, disaster or illness befalls you.
We are generous though and let you believe that you have free elections and we allow you to participate in them. We ensure you have a good choice of our choice of yes men to vote into office. we still choose the winner mind, but you have fun playing. We also let you donate to us, we do so like that. Fortunately for us you haven't the slightest idea about what is actually happening, you blame yourselves or fate or some other ethnic group or religion, our choice again of course, really helps us get the cannon fodder we need for wars.
We have been very, very pleased with how well you accepted money and interest scams. Many of us did not think you would be that easily fooled. Happily we were wrong. Also it is so fantastic that you still embrace the work ethic so well even though your paid slaves. Of course you don't know that either. But we certainly won't work as most jobs are toxic to health and damage the environment. Not that we care that much for your health or the environment were you are. As we obviously don't know much about work, we're sure happy you do it all for us!
It's true, life could be different. Society could be organized fairly to meet the actual needs of the population. But that would not fit with our program of survival of the fittest which we clearly are as we have shown by our ruthless, uncaring actions. You could collectively refuse to accept our domination, but you won't because you don't even know that you work for us. Isn't that sweet! Even as we tell you, you will deny it to yourself. In fact we have programmed you so well you can't even comprehend another way of life. That is the greatest, most significant achievement of our system, robbing you of your ability to imagine, to be creative, even taking your choice by making it for you while letting you think you made it yourself!
So on behalf of all Elites everywhere we'd like to thank you from the bottom of our totally heartless souls. Your endless sacrifice makes our life of extreme luxury and freedom to do as we please possible; your unquestioning obedience makes our system work. It's good for us you know your place and keep it! Thank you. Now get back to work!
