The House Always Wins: Culture Wars and Economic Chains

If America was a casino, we’d all be the chumps at the table while the house rakes it in laughin’, drinkin’, and riggin’ the deck. That chart? That’s not economics, that’s stagecraft. It’s a magic show with bipartisan smoke and mirrors. It’s evidence of a slow, silent surrender. Year after year, we watch it grow. Democrat, Republican—it don’t matter. The story never changes.

While we scream about things that should be private, sacred, personal—like love, identity, faith—it doesn’t matter if the dealer wears red or blue, we’re still stuck playin’ the same rigged game. The real thieves are quiet, consistent, and keep stackin’ zeros into forever.

The numbers ain’t just debt; they’re chains forged in silence while we dance around culture fires lit to keep us blind. We ain’t citizens to ‘em. We’re just cattle, herded from one culture war to the next. It’s time to stop starin’ at the left and right, and start askin’ who’s above it all, pullin’ the strings.

Unfortunately, we’re all too distracted to notice they’ve already stolen the pot, and they left us with IOUs disguised as freedom. So ask yourself: who’s really winnin’ this game?
