The Excesses of Crapitalism...

[UdoKier]

According to the right, ridiculous things like THIS:

Are proof of the superiority of capitalism.

To me they prove why we need a progressive tax system.

If I had enough money to squander on something so monstrous, I'd give it to a worthy cause and make do with a regular TV and nice sofa.

But some people have no qualms whatsoever about constructing a monstrosity in their home while others go hungry.

:puke: on this asshole and his absurd shrine to TEEVEE.

6. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't GILDED, I mean WTF?

Do you really need gold plated marble pillars. The frickin' TV, projection system and comfortable chairs would be MORE than enough for me, but NO he can't get off his ass, pause the movie and grab some salted popcorn - he's got to have a snack fucking bar.


WTF?

7. Unrestrained Capitalism benefits...

1% of the population at the expense of the other 99%.

The amazing thing is that the 1%(ultraRich) are able to repeatedly sell this plan to over 50% of the Americans who will directly suffer from it.

If ANYONE thinks that de-regulated Capitalism and privitization will be good for America....

We already fucking tried it!!!
It was a miserable failure!!!
