Larry the Billionaire Episode 17 Don't Vote for What You Fled


                Clarissa was in her Mid-20s but she had an eventful path that brought her to America.  She was born in Trinidad, moved to Venezuela after college where she worked for a couple years.  When the political system collapsed and people starting killing pigeons for food and sewing their bills because they were worth anything with the hyperinflation, she escaped to America where she had cousins that could take her in.  She got a student visa and went to graduate school in the states and now she was looking for work.  Since she experienced communism, she was against socialists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but living in Queens, New York, all the other East Indians from the Caribbean were telling her that Republicans were racist so she needed to vote Democrat.  Since she wasn’t knowledgeable enough to debate American issues, she claimed to be a Democrat. 

                Clarissa was an attractive girl with smooth brown skin, long straight black hair that went halfway down her back and stood at 5’8” with long legs and short torso but amble breasts and a round butt.  The area in Queens she lived in had various places where she could get doubles to remind her of her home in Trinidad.  Doubles is like a breakfast burrito except the wrapping is thin like a crepe and the inside is various spices and curry.  As she was listening to Democrats talk, she kept hearing an abolition of student loan debt.  Seeing how much her post-graduate degree cost, she was all for it.  Part of her wondered how the American government had the money to do that though.  It was July and she was being invited to her cousin’s house for her baby’s 2nd birthday.  She went excited to be listening to music from Trinidad and drinking the night away. 

 

                Larry was a single white male that had sworn off playing the dating game long ago.  This led him to focus on work and now that he had amassed a fortune, he still had no desire to play the game.  This was especially true with the current atmosphere of no fault divorces leading to people using divorce as a profit-making scheme.  He never understood the rules of dating as they were very hypocritical to him.  The girl pretends not to like the guy because he wants him to chase.  If he asks permission to touch her, she’ll say no because she wants him to have the confidence to make a move without permission.  If, however, she really didn’t want you to make the move, then you’re labeled a sex offender and people can search you as a sexual predator.  In order to amass the wealth he had, risks had to be taken but that was one risk he was not willing to take.  What made it more hypocritical is he saw a certain logic to it.  If a guy has to work hard to get a girl then he doesn’t think another guy will steal her because of how hard she made him work.  Given the popularity of break ups and divorce, however, it seemed clear that that logic hasn’t played out.  With this mentality, he had become pretty good at suppressing his carnal need for pleasures of the flesh.  He tried professionals who indulge in accommodating these needs but never found them exciting.  To him, corrupting someone more innocent was better for him.  It costs a lot more than the professionals but it was satisfying and money wasn’t a problem for him.  The one thing he tried to avoid was giving women money straight up.  Instead, he wanted to pay for a bill that they may not be able to afford.  This had ranged from an expensive outfit to a life saving medical procedure.  Either way, it was exponentially more than he’d pay an escort.  He travelled around the country eavesdropping on conversations and if he found an attractive girl, he made the offer.

                One day a man he used to work with invited him over to her house for his son’s 2nd birthday.  He hadn’t seen him in a while so was looking forward to going.  He had married a woman that also worked with Larry and he so Larry was friends with both of them.  He bought a nice gift and brought it over to the house by the Aqueduct casino in Queens, New York. 

                His friend was a blue collar guy who worked construction so Larry found himself with a lot of union welders and construction workers.  These were tough men with calloused hands that Larry respected but knew he could never do what they do.  That actually made him respect them more.  His favorite thing about them is political correctness was not something that they practiced so Larry could feel free to spout off whatever was on his mind and expect bluntness right back.  This was the type of people that he loved.  The Democratic primary debate had just been on TV and he walked in on the discussion.  A man named Duck said, “I think Elizabeth Warren won the debate.”

                There were a couple weird looks and Larry spoke up, “I don’t know; that question about if she was in favor of eliminating private health insurance and having everything government run may have hurt her.  Only she and DeBlasio raised their hands and DeBlasio has no chance in hell.”

                Duck responded, “They all want free healthcare, just nobody raised their hands.  People didn’t really jump on her for that, I don’t think it’ll be an issue.”

                “It will come back to haunt her.  Al Gore brought up the weekend furlough program of Dukakis during the primaries.  Nobody cared when it was just Democrats but George H.W. Bush jumped all over it and personalized it with Willie Horton who went on a murdering spree during his furlough.  Dukakis got destroyed.”

                “Well she’s got to win first before we find out.”

                “True, but she is one of the top candidates right now”

                “I was really impressed with John Delaney”

                “Yea, he spoke the least and got a lot of buzz so he was definitely efficient.”

                “He’s the only one that made any sense.”

                “Yea, he basically repeated the Obama line ‘if you like your plan, you can keep it.’  Of course Obama lied when he said it so Delaney is too but among the insane the semi-sane is king.”

                Clarissa sat down at the table and chimed in, “I didn’t think Gabbard did too bad.”

                “She sounded good when she was debating the guy from Ohio.  I mean he messed up saying the Taliban was responsible for 9/11, and she fired right back that it was Al Qaeda.  She echoed what a lot of conservatives say in that we need to stop trying to police the world and take care of us.  The Taliban was there before us and they will be there after.  She mentioned her military experience.  I agree with you” replied Larry

                Duck spoke up, “I think we all agree that Beto O’Rourke was the biggest loser.”

                The whole table laughed and Clarissa chimed in, “Yea like when he tried to speak Spanish.  Look, I lived in Venezuela, I’m fluent.  That was really shitty Spanish.”

                Larry piled on, “And that look that Corey Booker gave him was priceless”

Duck added, “Well, he stole Booker’s idea, he was going to do that.” 

Clarissa uttered, “He still could have.  You can show someone up and since O’Rourke set the bar so low, it wouldn’t have been hard.”

Larry declared, “I think NBC was a loser for not shutting off the microphones of the people in the back when they switched moderators.”

Duck retorted, “No, that was hilarious.  I wish someone said something incriminating.  I mean all we got was ‘who took my binder.’  It would have been awesome if they were like, ‘Wow that Warren is a retard’ or something.”

The hostess of the party, Varuna, came over to the table.  She realized what they were talking about.  Not one to mince words, especially in her own house, she blurted out, “That Julian Castro was a mother cunt last night.”

The table got uncomfortable but Larry was used to her speaking like that.  He didn’t react and just rejoined, “I think they all were but why Castro specifically?”

                “He said he wants to decriminalize border crossings.  He just wants to let all the spics in no matter what.”

                Varuna was also from Trinidad and had emigrated to America legally so viewed the people who did it illegally as taking the shortcut, which she viewed as unfair because she had to go through a lot of hoops that they should’ve too.  Also, Trinidad has had a problem with Venezuelans and Columbians fleeing to their country and bringing crime.  It was Clarissa that spoke out against her cousin, “Oh come on, don’t use that word.”

                Larry pronounced, “Especially because you’re married to an Italian and ‘spic’ was used for the Italian workers by the Irish immigrants because they didn’t like them here.  So you’re using a racial slur that was originally meant for your husband’s people.”

                Clarissa turned to Larry and admitted, “I didn’t know that.”

                Larry just nodded his head but then announced, “Although, in 2013, Julian Castro testified in front of congress that it was direly important to enforce the border and keep people out who are undocumented.”

                “Illegal” cried out Varuna

                “Yes, illegal.  Since I was quoting Castro, I had to use the term he used but if you come to this country illegally, then ‘illegal’ is a fair description.”

                The food was ready so the table got up to get food and beer and the conversation halted.  Later on Clarissa walked up to Larry.  She remembered him from Varuna’s wedding in Trinidad.  Back then, she was a teenager and he was in his late 20s.  Now that he was 35 and she was in her mid-20s, it wasn’t so bad.  She offered, “I remember you.  You stayed at my house for the wedding.”

                “And I remember you.  We spoke Spanish together.”

                “Yes we did”

                “Your parents treated me like a king.  I got huge meals, everyone was so jealous.  It was great.”

                “How have you been?”

                “Pretty well.  I made some good investments that will carry me over for a while.  How about you?”

                “Well, I got my dream from last I saw you and moved to South America.  Unfortunately it was communist Venezuela so I had to leave and now I’m massively in student debt.  All my education is on Spanish relations and I can’t really get a good job here, which sucks.  I just got a graduate degree so I could stay in this country.  Now, I’m on a path to citizenship and I’m probably going to be paying off my student loans for the rest of my life.”

                “Join the club”

                “I mean, you’re older than me.  Have you paid yours off?”

                “Mine were paid off before I met you.”

                “Oh” was all Clarissa could say. 

                “If you don’t mind me asking, what party are you affiliated with.”

                “I’m a far-right conservative.”

                “Oh, nice.”

                Larry laughed and uttered, “That’s not normally the reaction I get to that.”

                “I know but that’s my point.  Everyone here is liberal so I like hearing the other side.  Do you mind if we talk politics?”

                “Not at all”

                “So, we had two supreme court cases decided recently, are you familiar?”

                “I am, the one about state governors being able to draw districts and the one about if you can include the question ‘are you a citizen’ on the census”

                “What are your thoughts on them?”

                “I hate one, like the other.  I’ll start with the one I like, the redrawing of districts.  Conservatives want more power to the states and less to the federal government. Actually, more accurately they want more power to individuals but states come second and the federal government is dead last.  Bottom line is a state representative probably knows their state better than any federal government bureaucrat so the governor should be in charge of drawing the districts.  Yea it may unfairly benefit one or the other but it’s better than someone who doesn’t know what’s going on arbitrarily deciding on something that doesn’t affect him at all.  Keep it a state issue.”

                “And the other”

                “it’s retarded.  I mean why even have national elections?  Just have the world vote on our president if you don’t need to be a citizen of this country to vote.  There is no rhyme or reason to it.  Now the Democrats are really going to open the border so they get more people in their states, which mean more representatives to counteract the citizens living here.  I mean tourists come her all the time, why not let them vote and add them to the population?  It reminds me of when our country had slavery.  There was a big debate about whether slaves should count in the population.  They agreed that slaves were worth ¾ of a person.  Just like now, the Democrats, who were the slave owners wanted them to count and the non-slave holding Republicans wanted them not to count at all.  Now, the racist slavery-loving Democrats won without a compromise.”

                “Why does the population matter?”

                “Our elections are based on the electoral college.  Each state gets two senators.  The amount of electoral votes you have is based on the amount of Senators plus the number of house of representative members you have.  The house of representative is determined by your population.  The more House members you have, the more electoral votes your state gets and the more important that state is in choosing the president.”

                “Oh, yea that’s a big problem since all the immigrants want to come to big cities, that is predominantly Democrats”

                “With that decision, Donald Trump is going to be the last Republican president.  Texas is going to be swarmed with more illegal immigrants that will be allowed to vote now that it will turn it blue.  Once Texas turns blue, there’s no way a Republican will win again.”

                “That’s a little dark”

                ‘But true, mark my words.”

                “Is that the only reason you think that?”

                “No, big tech bans conservatives from their networks.  It’s like Big Brother except it’s not the government, it’s Google, YouTube and the like.  Of course Orwell didn’t know about those companies when he wrote his book but same concept.”
                “Well, I just came from Venezuela so yea I know all about big brother and socialist tendencies”

                “Even the alternative sites are jumping on.  Redditt just banned a group, ‘The Donald’ that supported President Trump.  Since they kept winning the uptweets or whatever they’re called, they just get banned.  You can search them, you can’t join them, they wiped them out for being too popular.”

                “I’m not sure about that”

                “They were the only group they made follow the rules.”

                “So you think the government should break them up?  I mean that’s what Elizabeth Warren wants.”

                “No”

                “Good because you said you don’t like the federal government getting involved in things.”

                “That’s pretty good that you picked that up just from my conversation about the district maps”

                “Thanks” Clarissa said with a wide smile

                “I think there needs to be a Bill of Rights.  Clearly explain the rules and when you get banned, you have to have a written reason as to why you were banned.  It needs to explain how you can fix it.  There needs to be someone you call and hold responsible for the banning.  Just transparency.  Now they just ban you with no explanation just poof no you’re done.”

                “That sounds reasonable.  You know, you Republicans aren’t the evil people that liberals make you out to be.”

                “Well yea, that’s why they suppress us from speaking so people don’t listen to us and realize they’ve been lied to.”

                “Well, consider me informed.  I mean, I’m a Democrat because, well….”

                “Everyone you know is a Democrat but listen to what the Democrats say and they sound very similar to Chavez and Maduro.”

                “Just AOC and Bernie, the rest are progressives”

                “Not too far off.”

                “Yea but they want to wipe out my student loans”

                “You do realize that they’d raise prices on everyone to do that. So you’re going to be paying yours and other people’s through increased taxes”

                “No, they just would tax financial transactions, I don’t own stock.”

                “Student loan debt is 1.7 trillion dollars.  The whole US economy is 20 Trillion.  You really think you’re going to generate 8.5% of the entire US economy from a .05% tax on stocks.  First off, people will stop investing.”

                “I never thought of that.”

                “That’s because they never talk specifics.  They lie to you.  So you’re willing to destroy this country you fled to because the one you left had plummeted to the point that everyone is starving and the currency isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on by voting for and advocating the very policies you left.”

                “Nobody explains that to us.”

                “I just did”

                “Yea but it’d be nice to not have to pay my student loans.”

                “So you’re willing to destroy the country you live in for it?  You really want those loans paid off.  Tell me something, would you do anything for those loans to go away?”

                Clarissa looked inquisitively at Larry and shyly inquired, “What do you mean?”

                “Would you do anything to have someone pay your student loans?”

                “I don’t know.  Depends what it was.”

                “What if a politician said that he’d pay your student loans if you vote for him?”

                “Well, that’s pretty much what I said on why I like the Democrats”

                “So you’d switch if it was a Republican?”

                “Yea, I guess so.”

                “What if that Republican said you had to post and tell all your friends you’re a Republican?”

                “Sure, they’re my friends. They’re not going to change their opinion of me”

                Larry smiled at her condescendingly as he knew that conservatives almost never stop being friends with someone over politics. Liberals, on the other hand, do it all the time.  He decided to go for the kill, “Alright, now all the cards are on the table.  If you fuck me and become a Republican and tell your friends you are, I’ll pay your student loans.”

                “For how long do I have to be a Republican?”

                “Well, I’ll pay them off right away so that’s on your honor.”

                Clarissa chuckled, “So basically you just want to fuck me?”

               
                “For a very large price yes.”

                “You’re really rich aren’t you?”

                “Yes but don’t think it’s anything more than it is.  It will be a one night stand.  There’s no marriage, you’re not going to trap me or anything.  It’s just one night.”

                “So you basically think I’m a prostitute.”

                “A very high end one.  I mean you were going to vote for a person you didn’t know, and he’ll charge you for it by raising your taxes.  At least with me, there’s no pay back of any kind.”

                “You’re like those 19 billionaires that wrote a letter to the government to tax them more.”

                “No, they are liars.  The tax code clearly has a clause that you can voluntarily give money if you want to.  They call it, ‘gifts to America.’  You send a check to P.O. Box 1328 in Paresburg, WV.  You don’t have to wait for congress to raise taxes, just give it to them.”

                “Do people do that?”

                “The most the government ever got was $ 12 million”

                “If each one of those billionaires gave a million that would be more than that”

                “Yea, see they’re liars”

                “Well, you can come back to my place after the party.”

                “You are going to have to sign something saying you consent so you can’t pretend it’s rape later.”

                “Wow, okay.”

                “So, yes you’ll take my deal?”

                “Yea why not” she stated as she shrugged her shoulders, “it’s just sex”

                They walked inside and people were watching the Women’s World Cup.  Larry rolled his eyes and asserted, “I hope the US loses”

                “Why?” asked Varuna

                “Megan Rapinoe keeps running her mouth how she hates America and won’t put her hand over her heart to sing the national anthem.  She jabbers on about how if they win, she’s not going to the fucking White House.  If you hate the country that much then don’t fucking join the national team.  I get pissed when people represent America and shit on the flag and the anthem.  Fuck you bitch.”

                Nobody disagreed with Larry.  Every country in the world understood the importance of nationalism except America.  It was one reason immigrants were always perplexed by Americans.  It’s like they didn’t understand what they had. 

                The night was over and Clarissa left first giving Larry her address.  She told him to meet her at her house in an hour so it didn’t look suspicious.  Larry agreed and after an hour, took an Uber to her house as he had drank a lot.  He got Clarissa on video signing the contract with her phone out.  He had her demonstrate that she could make calls and had her leave the room to demonstrate that she could dial 911 if she was in any danger.  Larry knew that this contract would never hold up in court.  It was just a bluff that hopefully Clarissa didn’t know.  Thus far, he hadn’t gotten in trouble for these indecent proposals but if one woman did, then everyone else may pile on because people wanted to be famous even if it was for being a rape victim.  Of course, he had never raped anyone.  The truth was it was always consensual but women do lie. 

                They didn’t waste time as Larry stripped himself first.  Clarissa did the same and then walked past Larry and lied on her back with her arms behind her head on the bed.  Larry mounted her and she placed her feet against his thighs and underhooked his arms resting her hands on his deltoids pulling him towards her.  Larry followed suit and was surprised that despite no foreplay, Clarissa was already wet.  He humped her using his leg muscles to overpower hers then let her lightly push him away only to drive back in.  After a bit, Clarissa showed how strong her legs really were and put her feet on Larry’s chest hoisting him to his feet.  Clarissa got up as well swinging her right leg over Larry’s shoulder and kissing him as her right leg straightened aside his head still on Larry’s shoulder.  Larry drove himself into her repeatedly as Clarissa moaned.  Larry then swept Clarissa’s left leg from under her and lied her back on the bed.  Clarissa lifted her left leg over Larry’s shoulder and Larry bent her legs behind her head as he deeply penetrated her driving himself harder and harder into her.  He swung her left leg over and entered from the rear with his hands firmly grasping her butt.  Clarissa was on her knees but Larry straightened them out.  He straddled her right leg and licked her right butt cheek but despite withdrawing from Clarissa’s birth canal, his testicles still sent an army of semen through his shaft and instead of salt covering Clarissa’s butt, it was ejaculate covering her right leg.  Larry rolled off her and Clarissa used the sheets to wipe off the semen a little relieved that it landed there as they clearly forgot to put a condom on Larry.

            Larry lied on his back panting and Clarissa did the same.  Clarissa was the first to speak as she posed, “I keep hearing this stuff about ‘unmasking’ what is that?”

            “When the intelligence community has a foreign person under surveillance, they can record their phone calls without a warrant because they’re not US citizens.  If, however, the foreigner is talking to a US citizen, the intelligence agent listening will mask their name and redact it so that it’s not in the record who he was talking to.  This protects the American’s 4th amendment rights protecting against unlawful search and seizures.  If it comes up later that this American may be involved in illicit activity with the foreigner, they can file a request with a court to unmask the names.”

            “That seems like a loophole into spying on everyone”

            “It is and that’s what it became under Obama because a mask is only as good as the people who know who you are’s ability to keep the secret.”

            “So under Obama, they weren’t good at keeping people masked?”

            “It’s worse than that.  People are supposed to be unmasked by a court, but the person authorizing an obscene number of unmasking was Samantha Powers”

            “Who’s that?”

            “She was the ambassador to the United Nations under Obama”

            “Why would she have that authority?”

            “Precisely, she’s not an intelligence agent.  She doesn’t work in a legal role.  She’s not in the judiciary branch.  That’s a blatant abuse of power.”

            “Yea, I ‘d say.”

            “What’s worse, she’s supposed to be neutral but she used government servers to attack Donald Trump.  As Ambassador, it’s your job not to be partisan and she made it very known.”

            “Well, it seems a lot of people did that.”

            “And they should all be prosecuted for it.  They broke the law.”

            “Why would they be so dumb though?  Obviously if it’s on a government server, the government can find out.  I mean they probably listen to all our calls but they definitely listen to shit on their server.”

            “Nobody thought Trump would win so they didn’t bother to cover their tracks.  They knew Hillary would win and Hillary would cover it all up.”

            “Yea, not so much.”

            “Not sure about that as none of them are in jail.  I mean the anti-Trump people arrested Papadopoulos, Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, Etc. etc. and all we got is Michael Avenatti.  It seems now if you’re Democrat, you’re above the law even if a conservative is president.”

            “Well, I guess I’ll see how our side gets discriminated against.” She declared with a smile.  Clarissa took out her phone and changed her Facebook affiliation to conservative.  She also posted on all her social media platforms that she switched to a Republican.

            She put her phone down shrugging her shoulders.  Larry grinned and said, “Now watch how people attack you.”

            “I don’t think they will.”

            He again gave her a condescending look and articulated, “You’ll see”

            Larry cradled Clarissa in his arms and fell asleep surprised at how she relaxed in his arms.  The next morning, Larry wired the money online to the government body that loaned her the money for school paying it in full.  They got breakfast together and Larry went home hugging her good bye.  Clarissa quickly found out what real discrimination and vitriolic hatred was about with the comments that came back.  She was called a White Supremacist even though she was brown.  Some friends refused to talk to her anymore.  With each comment though, she became more and more bold.  She researched conservatives and found that Google kept steering her away from conservatives so she had to do some serious research to find them.  When she did, she realized that they really were the opposite of what she fled.  What started out as a deal became a reaction to the hatred she got from friends and family.  Not all of them but enough for her to deem it ridiculous.  She was pushed further and further right the more she found out and when it was time to vote a little under a year and half later, she cast her vote for Donald Trump.  She and Larry still saw each other at Varuna’s parties but they were cordial and remained civil.  They never had anything more than a casual plutonic relationship again.  With her student loans paid off, Clarissa was free to work without a massive debt on her shoulders.  She never regretted what she had to do in exchange for that freedom.
