My father used to walk around the house calling out "Beat the system, kids! Beat the system!" I was fifty years old before I realized how much he wasn't kidding.

Stop telling people to vote for the system your Dad was warning you about.

Very popular saying

In the 70s, a friend's grandfather would tap the dash of the car when he was speeding, saying "Whoa there. Don't want to overthrow the government".
My father used to walk around the house saying, "beat the kids, system." We are not the same. (He was asking the system to beat his kids, on case you were wondering.)

I’m sure your dad is a great guy and father. As myself being a father to inter-racial children, the last thing I will ever tell my children is they are a victims to the system.

What Does Beating an old system mean? Put simply, if you’re beating a dead horse (system), you’re engaged in a pointless pursuit. thewordcounter.com/what-does… ======To be effective we must get a new horse! youtube.com/c/PeoplesParty
