Kate, unfortunately, this image, if viewed by capitalists or sheeple, would have no effect. That’s because you need a conscience to be affected!

We need to stop insulting sheep.
200 years to late for socialism. If they buy 9/11 (trust a government), they can not buy socialism.

I was reading an article today about salaries of German workers. It compared the salaries with how much German managers make. Such a comparison would be scandalous to some people.
But what really took the cake was seeing what top US managers make. 4 US managers earn more than 1 BILLION dollars a year. Now some people may call me a jealous witch but I know damn good and well there is no way in hell a person can put that much money to honest use.
That is not money that was reinvested in business equipment that was salary. Now if George Soros buys a 200 ft yacht the money that he spends will go in to the pockets of the people who build the yacht. A lot of money to the yacht company owner and a little to the workers. But there is no way that Soros is going to buy a yacht every year. Now I have no evidence that any of these men have committed a specific crime but that kind of money is not honest money. It was earned a the result of their participation in a sick system. Every thing that they have should be nationalized with the exception of one house that they get to choose and a “vacation” home not to exceed 5000 square feet. The other homes can be given to Iraqi children who have lost limbs in the war.

We often talk about how disproportionately wealthy Jews in the US are. Of the 25 people on the list of top earning US managers few of the names looked to be traditionally Jewish names.
Most were just plain English names.

Jews are too cunning and have too much class to be on any list. Was Rothschild, Rockefeller there?
If you don’t need a $10,000,000 house, then you just made $10,000,000 – $100,000. Same withe boat, private jet. Time on either is a waste of time, but you made another 50 million, for having the need. Most of the material wealth falls out this way.
But this is only ostentation, making the point that the material wealth reward scheme often goes to the idiot. Always has.

Kate, your comment came in while I was posting the one below. There are many people that must accept blame for the current moral bankruptcy of the world. I include myself.
I know there are some good Jews in the world just as there are some good Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Capitalists and Atheists, etc. And there are a lot of bad ones as well.
We on this site, as truth-seekers and thinkers but also as flawed human beings, must try to work together to bring about change and try to forgive occasional transgressions.

Ken, your comments are valuable. Conspicuous consumption should be treated as a sickness. The people who engage in it must feel inferior!
Paine, ‘participation in a sick system’ nails it perfectly. We have been sold a lemon! It’s time for change.

Good Morning..I have no problem understanding “forgiveness”, my fear is that if this site accepts narrow viewpoints as all are equal, then you are contributing to the general ignorance.
Looks like the economic war has Canada and the US new best friends..internationally the financial lifeblood pipelines of credit are being tied off-chemo to be applied to cancer of Capitalism..Uncle Sam has hat in hand and standing outside the UK “Check into Cash”. I wonder the interest rate we as the borrowers will pay? (587%)..Kate

Sadly too many people blame the poor for being poor. Even in third world countries that have suffered from being ruled and exploited by the current empire in power the poor are blamed for the mess that their country is in.
Yes, the rulers of these countries have made the suffering of their people much worse, but that would not have happened if colonial powers had not destroyed the country first.
All we ever learn in school is corporate/government propaganda about how we brought civilization to the poor backward savages who where often more civilized than we where.
