Nancy Pelosi, Estimated To Be Worth $114 Million, Says Capitalism Has “Not Served Us Well” And “Needs Improving”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband must not be having the success with his daytrades that he once was. Otherwise, we can’t think of any other reason for Pelosi to come out last Friday and state in London that capitalism “has not served” the U.S. economy as well as it should.

“In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should,” Pelosi said according to WaPo. “So what we want to do is not depart from that, but to improve it and to make sure that it serves us.”

The statement is ridiculous on a number of levels, not the least of which is that Pelosi and her husband have been partaking in the system – exactly as it exists today – by executing meaningful options trades in U.S. listed public companies, many of which have had “interestingly timed” runs of fortune since Pelosi’s involvement.

Pelosi’s criticism of capitalism was that it had “historically allowed workers’ wages, as well as management’s, to rise alongside productivity”. We wonder if she has taken a good hard look at the effect of the ongoing Democratic government dole on productivity as well?

Doing her best Karl Marx impression, Pelosi said: “You cannot have a system where the success of some springs from the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment and the rest, and we have to correct that.”

Pelosi said that the economic shift has been to “shareholder capitalism” which caused “employee salaries to stagnate”.

So naturally we’re expecting that Pelosi will dump all of her investments where her and her husband are “shareholders” – lest she contribute to the very same system she is arguing is decimating America and the middle class.

Pelosi, meanwhile, is estimated to be worth $114 million.

What’s it going to be, Nancy?

It's time the Pelosi’s had a serious forensic audit on the origins of their family's wealth.

In Nancy’s case, she didn’t need Capitalism.

The royal “us’ / royal “we” - in more ways than one.

This vicious ole harpy is a slave master. She and her crooked corrupt husband pay stinkin’ wages to the slaves that work for them at Starkist.

Sorry Charlie, Nanzi smells like 2 week old fish sticks.

I was not aware that we had a capitalist system. Certainly not in the last few decades.

The cloward and Piven strategy is to implode the economy from within and replace Capitalism with communism. They are near their goal.

This is really a silly premise. Yeah she is rich, but not nearly as rich as she would be in a socialist America. She would be probably be worth closer to a billion. Government officials get rich in a socialist society.

How do you “improve” a BELIEF???? (Capital-ISM IS a belief btw)

Well, you attack and destroy counter beliefs such as Commun-ISM

So Pelosi can go “Biden” herself.
