Public option…for shoes

8 October, 2009 (12:47) | Capitalism, Economics, Government, Health care | By: Darren

I’ve had a change of heart! I think it would be great to have a public option for health insurance! In fact, it makes so much sense, I’m also starting a campaign for a public option for shoes! See, the same reasoning applies. Clearly, shoe manufacturers are unable to adequately provide good shoes at affordable prices because they’re beholden to the ‘almighty dollar.’ They don’t want us to have good shoes that last a long time, because then they would run out of customers. They’re naturally driven by evil market forces to produce shoes that fall apart quickly and then charge exorbitant prices for them so they can make more money. Yep, that’s definitely how it works. There simply aren’t many shoes out there, and the ones that do exist are extremely expensive and don’t even really fully cover our feet. That’s why millions of us are forced to walk around barefoot or in crappy but expensive shoes.

Join me in calling for a public option for shoes!
