really, really random halloween/tax rant

warning: this post is incredibly random and only happening because it's 1 am, i've been trying to get to sleep since 9:30, and i'm almost sick and very delirious. 

anyways, while facebooking instead of sleeping, i came across the following facebook status:

Elizabeth May Leshikar

Obama's Halloween Policy: The top 5% of candy collectors: you are mandated to redistribute your candy to kids who didn't bother trick-or-treating.

this really, really pisses me off. infinitely more than someone actually critiquing obama's tax plan. 1) the top 5% of candy collectors are never going to actually eat all that fucking candy. i was never a top 5% candy collector myself, and i NEVER actually finished my candy. at least 1/4 of it was wasted each halloween. you just can't eat that much candy, no matter your age or how much you like candy. if you can, you have bigger things to worry about than having to give 5% up. 2) the kids who didn't bother trick or treating are not the ones who would be getting the candy given up by the top 5%. they're the ones who are too entitled to trick or treat. they're the one's who think "whatever, i get candy whenever i want it anyways" or know that mommy and daddy will buy them better candy the next day anyways. seriously, no kid "doesn't bother" trick or treating that actually wants halloween candy. 3) the kids she is referring to as not bothering, the kids who would actually be receiving the top 5%'s excess candy, are the ones who CAN'T go trick or treating. maybe they can't afford a costume, or their parents won't let them, or their neighborhood is too dangerous, or their neighbors can't afford to just hand out candy. kids who really want candy WANT to go trick or treating. if they aren't going, it's because they can't, not because they made a choice not to. 4) it's fucking free candy. these top 5% kids are so greedy they can go door to door begging for candy, but god forbid they have to give a little to the less fortunate? the people they're getting the candy from probably aren't in the top 5%. if you are such a greedy, ungrateful bastard you can't give back to the community that gave you the candy in the first place, you shouldn't be allowed to be in the community. 5) there are probably exceptions to all of these, but seriously, wouldn't you rather bring immense joy to a kid who didn't have a halloween and would be eternally grateful to your kindness at the risk of maybe giving a piece of candy to a lazy son of a bitch than hoard it all for yourself, throw half away, and know your greed denied poor children happiness?

again, if you want to argue with obama's tax policy, go right ahead, be my guest. i fully support political discourse and your right to have an opinion regardless of how shitty i think it is. but don't apply these statements to poor children and candy. also, i bet if it were a christian holiday such as christmas we wouldn't see this kind of status denying the less fortunate children of america christmas presents. 

anyways, as i said, i'm tired, delirious, and honestly, i really don't like that girl in the first place (although i do still pity her for not knowing what a clit is).
