Where Does Prince Charles Get Off Decrying Capitalism?
FOXBusiness ^ | August 04, 2009 | David Asman

Posted on 08/06/2009 10:29:09 AM PDT by george76

There are few things more annoying than a millionaire socialist -- hearing someone condemn capitalism after they’ve already banked their million.

The only thing worse is a billionaire socialist. Folks like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez make this list.

And now add to it Britain’s bonnie Prince Charles. Earlier this month the prince gave a lecture in which he blamed capitalism and consumerism for bringing the world to the brink of collapse and declared that the “age of convenience is over.” He warned that the world has just 96 months to avert "irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it."

Now here’s a royal brat who has spent his life wanting for nothing and being waited on hand and foot…and he’s lecturing the rest of us about consumerism? ... Let him fire the dozens of servants and parlor maids he has waiting on him 24/7.

This is a guy who’s indulged in anything he ever wanted, and he’s got the nerve to tell us that the days of convenience and capitalism are over?

Bad track record.

Royal family = world’s wealthiest welfare recipients... or least attractive zoo attraction. Take your pick.

There is a website dedicated to unmasking the British royal family, but I can’t remember the name of it offhand.

married a mommy surrogate!

Chuck falls into that category of human who is not satisfied with having the good life, but is only satisfied if others *don’t* have it.

Plus he has never worked a day in his life to earn a living.
Convenience and capitalism are over...except for him!

He warned that the world has just 96 months to avert "irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it."

If "all that goes with it" means continued socialist control of the American government and economy, then I'm all for irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse in 96 months.

Like mother like son...Diane was an idiot but because she was pretty, she got lots of good press...I had a argument with my daughter when Di died....She thought it a great loss and I just told her if Di had been fat and homely and said the same things, no one would pay any attention to her..just a good clothes horse..

Let us hope that the Queen lives well beyond the age of 105.

England always had this love and hate relationship with capitalism and industralization. Look at the lyric to hymn Jersualem:

“And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?”

A common intrepretation is mills refers to the new factories that were popping up all over.

In Charlotte Bronte’s Shirley the ending scene refers to a once green hill that has become spoilt from the factory run by the two heroines husbands.

Bonnie Prince Charles is just another intellectual, using the term loosely, taking shots at industralization and capitalism.
