Cartoon 817: Diametrically Opposed

There is a significant disconnect with the published “Costs of Living” index and reality. Everyone now notices that you pay more and get less of everything. Sizes and quantities of products and services have shrunk. The net result is greater profits for business investors and greater costs to the consumer. But this is merely one of a series of detrimental business trends.

The goal of business is to increase revenue, our goal is to reduce expense. People are getting poorer all the time while the rich are getting richer. Where will this game end? The answer is the unimaginable, revolution. It is hard to visualize here in America, in fact the psychological trend in the world is kept hidden. But capitalism today is forcing a resurgence of both socialism and communism in the world. America is not immune.
