What is Wealth Bondage?

Posted by Dr. Amrit Chadwallah

What is Wealth Bondage? Ah, the eternal question! Wealth Bondage is a work of art in the Augustan Tradition, harking back to Mennipean Satire and Rabelaisian Carnival as discussed by Bakhtin, writing under Stalin. Wealth Bondage is a series of parables, as discussed by St. Mark, writing under Caesar.  Wealth Bondage is a "play without footlights," a perfomance in which the audience is among the cast. WB is a Text riven by aporia whose meaning is endlessly differed, displaced and deferred. Wealth Bondage is a trace, a spoor, a vapor trail, a symptom more than a sign, a portent, an omen, an index of cultural decline. Or, Wealth Bondage is a dialogic Text which explodes its own narrative conventions, breaking the frame of Branded discourse.  Or, Wealth Bondage is a system of signs not referring to so-called "eternal reality," but instead standing between us and the unreal blackness of eternity like a scrim or Simulacrum.

Wealth Bondage is pervasive, the horizon within which postmodern life, in every aspect, appears to us as a Market. Wealth Bondage is the basis of all domestic and foreign policy. Wealth Bondage is a well kept secret. Wealth Bondage is hidden in plain sight. Wealth Bondage is a Bordello for persons of Wealth. Wealth Bondage is what fornicators call "Congress." Wealth Bondage is a morality play. Wealth Bondage is reality as we know it. Wealth Bondage is the foundation for all domestic and foreign policy. Wealth Bondage works closely with the Administration. Wealth Bondage is the neoliberal consensus. Wealth Bondage remains committed to keeping as many blogging jobs as possible on American Soil. Wealth Bondage is a Dumpster Think Tank.  Wealth Bondage is at War with Terror. Wealth Bondage is pretty scary itself. Wealth Bondage is socially constructed and dominates the Supreme Court. Wealth Bondage does not condone torture, but does reserve the right. Wealth Bondage is a state of War. Wealth Bondage is a state of Emergency. Wealth Bondage meets in special session. Wealth Bondage is Classified. Wealth Bondage is for your eyes only. Wealth Bondage is provided strictly on a need to know basis.

All interpretations of Wealth Bondage are themselves inside Wealth Bondage and as such are provisional, for there is not "outside" of Wealth Bondage. For the latest on what wealth bondage is please be sure to consult BrainBoost daily. As for myself, as a Hermeneutics Professional, skilled in the detection of Hidden Meanings, I would say Wealth Bondage is proof positive that Freedom is indeed on the March.

Anyway, Wealth Bondage at the most literal level is a coporate entity owned by and subservient to Candidia Cruikshanks, and its suppliers, stockholders, supporters, political allies, armies, and public policies. It is also the Dumpster out behind Wealth Bondage in which the Wealth Bondage employees congregate, at the curb separating Wealth Bondage from the Public Square, to discuss matters of moment to the General Public, to drink Thunderbird in a spirit of congeniality and high spirits, and to contribute our collective wisdom to the good of humankind. Grab a mask and join us, if you wish. Rich or poor, powerful or oppressed, man, woman or hybrid, just be yourself, and say what you think. Yes, we are under surveillance, aren't we all? But the NSA guys, from the blacked out van, are over by the flaming barrel, jamming a cappella with the Happy Tutor. They are just people too, as drunk as we are. Welcome one and all!

And here I thought 'wealth bondage' was either a) a phrase designed to assuage the conscience of rich folks by letting them think that the chains that bind them to their 1040 forms are as heavy as the chains that bind the poor to their market gardens and prostitute daughters, or b) meta-ironic fun-poking at (a).

Silly me.

[tutor]

Sorry, Stavros, that is Smoky Joe's interpretation too. Through good planning he can break the chains that connect wealth to taxes. The planning can involve tax planning, expatriation of dollars to tax havens, or the rewriting of the tax code itself by means of strategic philanthropy directed to Heritage, AEI, and Hudson, among others, plus direct gifts and lobbying.

Love it, thanks. The Lost Gospels of Wealth Bondage, found in an ancient sack of garbage.

[Kombinat!]

Wealth Bondage is not constructed. WealthBondage is - it is we that are consructed in WealthBondage. We are its Work of Art. WealthBondage is an Artist constructing us in its image. Amen.

[tutor]

Wealth Bondage simply is. We are constructed of, by and for Wealth Bondage. We are its product, not its producers. Human lives come and go, Wealth Bondage remains.

I recently found this old and tattered book in one of the dumpsters in one of *my* alleys .. funny title .. "Of Human Bondage", by a guy with a hoity-toity sounding name I'm not sure I can pronounce.

Does it have anything in common with wealth bondage ? I mean, this guy Phillip is an artist (or at least wants to be) and he seems to have trouble with jobs and money and stuff.

[tutor]

Yes, indeed. Of Human Bondage, the bondage to the flesh.

[WildSammonRevolution]

Clearly Wealth Bondage is unclarity itself, often seen in its literary double.
An instrument playing itself, if you will...

Wind-chimes, the music of the wind, the old Romantic conceit. And the wind is rising in a coming storm.

[johnnyfix]

hmmmm.... Very intersting. Wealth Bondage? I was just thinking of this yesterday. The condition where everything in life seems like a Market. I will exploit you, but only 10%. Did you know that the Federal Reserve is not a government organization but instead a privately held corporation. I found a documentary "The Money Masters" on google video:

The Money Masters 1 of 3

The Money Masters 2 of 3

The Money Masters 3 of 3

Greed and avarice have become common place.

I have practiced wealth bondage for many years and have attained Master status

Feel my wealth, and enjoy it while you can.

Dick? Your name is really Dick Quick? You know they have special spray for that?

Why don't you come back, Sweetie, when you have fixed that little problem of yours.

[NOTchillindude]

Oh SNAP! THAT SHIT IS OFF THE FUCKING HOOK! Can you please put it back on the hook please? It may lose its battery power, and I charged it for hours. Thank you.

As for me the bondage must be safe – when both parties agree on safety basics. This means that basically BDSM activity should wear no risk to health. Well, the risk of course is inevitable and either sub or dom is aware of the possible consequences, but what you both realize is that you both are to take the responsibility. I personally think that in any case you should realize that if you are not going to try something harder and dangerous you should stop and tell it to your partner beforehand, and if you opt for risk than just make sure you've taken more serious precautions.

Thanks. Any tips for doing wealth bondage safely, like hold onto your wallet?

[JJ Commoner]

Cash is so 20th Century. Soon credit cards will be passé too ... there may be a terrorist risk associated with their use.

Next up will be thumbprint and eye-scanning technologies that tap into Possible Enema Combatant databases ... thumb screws and hoods will suffice for those needing second-degree bondage.

[Tutor]

Better not to talk about it, JJ. The higher ups know what is best for us. I support the Decider. Candidia loves us.
