A little Economic Satire

By Rich Kozlovich

This piece is predicated on an article by Dan Mitchell sent out a few days ago about economic humor.  I don't usually publish his "humor" pieces because all the pictures are too much trouble,  I don't think most of them are all that funny, and ...well... I just don't like them.   But there were some good points in this one which I've worked into this satirical piece below. 

A guy was lined up against the wall to be shot, and he pleaded not to shoot him because he was retarded.   There was a pause and some discussion, and so they asked him to prove it.  He said unrealized capital gains tax is good for the economy.  They decided he must be retarded if he believed that, but that also made him dangerous, so they shot him anyway. 

Here's a multiple choice question.  There are three people listed here and only one of them is champion of labor, which is it?

Bernie Sanders
Karl Marx
Milton Friedman

If you picked Bernie or Karl, you should apply for a visa to Venezuela and enjoy their utopian equality, where everyone but the ruling class is suffering from dystopia, poverty, suffering, misery, disease, and early death.  The left calls that equity. 

Inflation is caused by greedy price gougers, and not by the FED printing trillion of dollars that have no real value behind them.  And we know that's true because Kamala said so. 

Kamala has also called for price controls, and the Democrat party's silence denotes agreement  with price controls.  But there's a history regarding price controls, all disastrous, and a number of leaders who has imposed them.  Hugo Chavez of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Stalin of the The Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and Fidel Castro of the Communist Party of Cuba.  What does Kamala and these people all have in common?
