Where Does Prince Charles Get Off Decrying Capitalism?

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?

....good old plain dumb-as-a-post Charlie gets his cool millions from the PEOPLE ......

Actually, he doesn't. His household is funded entirely by the income from the Duchy estate. Inherited wealth, granted - but not taxation.

Actually, his father Prince Philip has been known to make serious gaffes too. his mother, on the other hand, I have nothing but the deepest respect. I hope she lives at long as HER mother, to well over 100.

Young Charles is just trying to get some attention from his mommy and daddy.

Maybe the Labour clowns are right: maybe it’s time to retire the Crown

They would have, if not for the deep respect the Queen retains. Come on, I'm sure you respect her too. Prince Chucky -- well, I say cut off all his royal privileges, give him 100,000 pounds and let him fend for himself, with no castles or ponies or anything.
