1. Ya Know... Capitalism Has Really Lost It's Luster |
|
I mean, growing up I always thought right or wrong, these guys basically knew what they were doing. And even though I always sided with the unions and the working class, the head-butting and give and take, I used to have a begrudging respect for the so called "Masters of the Universe".
But as all of our eyes have been opened over the last few decades...
We find that the the Greedy-But-Great-Capitalists of yore, have been replaced with the Greedy, Huckster, Confidence Men, Fraudulent Carnival Barkers that they have unfortunately become.
There is no more repect... with EXTREMELY few exceptions.

3. I've started to think they couldn't even take a piss |
|
if someone didn't hold it for them. They'd hit their leg or the nearest bum.
Even some of these so called economists have shown over the past years it's no science. Just pick your favorite meme and run with it.
No matter what. If it fails, it's not the meme's fault, it just wasn't pure enough, or people didn't believe enough.

5. Actually it is working |
|
It's working exactly as planned by those who designed it.
This is what it looks like.
Nothing is broken.
Capitalism sucks.

8. Capitalism is the only reason you're not dead in a ditch at 45 |
|
Unfettered capitalism isn't working, not capitalism. You need to have government checks.
