Who is your favorite 19th century plutocrat?
J.P. Morgan? John D. Rockefeller? Andrew Carnegie?
Their bloated wealth and demagoguery, coupled with their callous disregard for the common worker always brings a warm smile to my face.
Collect them all with the new Captains of Industry trading cards! Hoard them and create a monopololy free from any governmental regulation! Find complicit allies in the ineffectual single-term presidencies of Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, and Chet Arthur! Learn of the joyful power that comes with immense wealth!
If you call within the next 10 minutes, you’ll also receive a free top hat! You can’t afford to miss out on the fun of plutocrat collecting!
well gee whiz, i guess SOMEONE better leave a comment!
I like JP Morgan’s moustache. It says, “Hello, I’m J.P. Morgan. I enjoy flights of fancy. For instance, I eat ice cream while watching your children use the toilet.”
steve, that is so amazingly messed up!
I study under the best, Peter. I study under the best.
…And by the best I mean “The disturbed rantings of the JLP and the melodic insanity of GT&PP.”
I am Rockefeller man. When I was a kid I watched this documentary about the Rockefellers and I always wanted them to loose. They never did. When they finally got beat down by Teddy Rosevelt and William Taft’s regulation policies they would say, “Eh, let the world wag.”
Those frickn’ bastards; I hate those guys.
Little know fact, Rockefeller would often done spandex and a cape at night and fight for the oppressed. Of course, in his mind? The oppressed were the factory owners and the rich. So, beating up “lazy” factory workers seemed a little harsh, rather than heroic.
