Behind Capitali$tma$
                 by Kevin     
Christmas is supposed to be the holiday of giving.
But now in the 21st century, huge corporations have
huge sections devoted to Christmas items. Christmas
trees can be over $100.00!!! Decorations cost even
more to fully decorate a tree, which can cost up to
$300.00! In fact, Christmas itself is a
multi-trillion dollar industry across the world. But
now toys are being recalled from "communist" China
(they're not communists, in my opinion they're
fascists), and the computer/video gaming industry is
going to make billions of dollars. It's so hard to
be a kid these days. Toys are  being banned, recalled,
or are just too expensive! With Christmas getting
closer every day more advertisements are coming on
T.V. Just a few days ago I saw the same commercial
twice in the same commercial break!!! It's all
capitalist propaganda. You could call it Capitalistmas
instead of Christmas, since that's what it's all about,
isn't it? Capitalism!
