Actually you stupid jerks, capitalism is what provides all the nice things you a-holes at ABC get to enjoy every day. What you are talking about is “consumerism”. Now without capitalism we would not have as much to consume. Get it dufus?

The opposite is an orgy of children’s shoes.

In the former Soviet Union the government enforced quotas on industries. When a major shoe manufacturer encountered material shortages, to meet the quota so that the managers wouldn’t be sent to a Siberian resort for a little rehabilitation, the company just stopped making adult shoes, which needed more material, and just made children’s shoes. Naturally this led to an acute shortage of adult shoes and an “orgy” of children’s shoes in the marketplace - the quota was met!

Without the “Orgy of Capitalism”, BIG GOVERNMENT could not exist. Barry Benghazi would not be president. Marxists all my have diplomas but they are the stupidest bunch of morons to ever come down the pike. You’ve got to have “the rich” if you want free ObamaCare. You’ve got to have “the rich” if you want to have welfare. You’ve got to have “the rich” if you want tax revenue. Communists are such morons. No wonder communism has NEVER worked anywhere that it has been tried.

I'm seeing a lot of Black Friday TV commercials offering Samsung Galaxy S2's at $79.99. They're dumping the obsolete technology because everyone's buying the S3's now.

So, ABC, in your world who would get the S3's and who would get the S2's?

Do away with capitalism and just give the S3's to the elites and S2's to the proletariats?
