Noted: There’s a Bill Hicks tumblr.
“You know what bugged me about the whole election? They totally reduced us to this whole worship of money, and that’s what they made the whole election about, was taxes, voting with your wallet. People say to me ‘Bill, you vote for Clinton, he’s gonna raise your taxes. M’kay? I mean, he may tell you he’s not, but he’s gonna. A vote for Clinton is a vote for higher taxes, Bill.’ See, I have news for you, folks. There’s other reasons not to vote for George Bush than taxes, OK? I don’t know what’s happened to us as a world, maybe twelve years of republicanism has made us think this way, but the reason I didn’t vote for Bush is because George Bush -along with Ronald Reagan- presided over an administration whose policies toward South America included genocide. So yeah, ya see? The reason I didn’t vote for him? ‘Cause he’s a mass murderer. I’ll pay the extra nickel on petrol, just knowing brown kids aren’t being clubbed to death like baby seals in Honduras, so Pepsi can put a plant down there.”
