2. Monopolies: I'm Lovin' It
"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he'll convince investors to deplete the ocean's fisheries and charge 'royalties' for anyone who wants to fish for themselves." ~ (Someone not retarded and understands how things actually work IRL)
We live in a wonderful era where our masters and overlords control just about everything of consequence. From education to healthcare to filtered results that show up in search engines (DuckDuckGo is compromised you buffoons) to utilities, it is difficult to find an organization that is both legitimate and not tied to the unholy alliance of "Big Gubmint" and corps.
Now, I know what conservative retards are "thinking" immediately upon hearing that:
"But I dun have any masters. I'm uh FREE MAN!!!!!11111111111111111"
OK.
You're "free" which is why...you need to pay through the nose for just about everything from TV to Internet to "health insurance" (which is a big scam) to property taxes to utilities.
Please enlighten us...please demonstrate to the class how paying highway robbery prices = "freedumb."
(Oh, and by the way, since gullible conservative AND liberal retards never really got this, let me just make an addendum:
The point of paying a fee to Comcast or DISH or w/e is so you DON'T have to suffer TV ads. Yet somehow Comcast and DISH convinced liberal and conservative retards that they STILL need to watch ads close to 50% of the actual program time. And these **** RETARDS think this is great!)
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Now when you bring up the fact that handing over the economy to the likes of Google, Northrop, JP Morgan, and Sysco isn't great for your wallet (nor is it consistent with the principles of "free markets") conservative retards will usually retort with one or more of the following:
1. Nobody is forcing you to have TV, Internet, "car payments," etc.
Yeah...because nobody is "forcing" these upon you, that means you should accept the high cost/[what you receive] ratio.
MENSA!
2. The problem is gubmint regoolayshun
Please explain why citizens in European countries have higher levels of regoolayshun w/ lower costs (for example, cost of transportation and utilities).
(This reminds me of a time when a conservative retard told me that the reason McDonald's is so expensive is due to rising wages and "nobody wanting to work."
I told him McD's workers in Denmark make close to $25/hr and their menu prices are only marginally more expensive - all due to highly restrictive immigration policies - which conservatives CLAIM to support but don't - as well as high rates of unionization - which conservatives despise because they love slobbering over corps)

Now, I will add an aside:
Despite decades of "tax cutting," the taxes here in the states are quite onerous. This is one of the few claims made by conservative retards that ACTUALLY is true, for once!
"The taxes are too damn high!"
This is curious because conservatives vote for politicians who CLAIM they support "free markets, lower taxes, blah blah" yet taxes have gone through the roof over the past 5 decades.
So...not ONLY do you get to pay NOSEBLEED PRICES for just about everything (not TVs or electronics), you ALSO get to pay nigh Europe-level taxes!
Just one question:
Since you enjoy this "freedumb" (getting gang banged in the ***) so much, are you legitimately a retard?
