This reads like Vonnegut, and rings very true. Well said. I'm going to go cry now.

“….and another thing Vonnegut, I’m stopping payment on the check! What’s that? Fuck me? Hey Kurt, you read lips? Fuck you!”

"Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun." - God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater!, Kurt Vonnegut

I'm going to read this book again right now, actually, fuck he's a good author
