Pet Peeve: People Who Can't Mind Their Own Business

I was looking up who Lewis Black is because he is going to be performing in New York as part of Advertising Week. In his Wikipedia entry, it says:

Black describes his political affiliation as such: "I'm a socialist, so that puts me totally outside any concept ... the Canadians get it. But seriously, most people don't get it. The idea of capping people's income just scares people. 'Oh, you're taking money from the rich.' Ooh, what a horrifying thing. These people really need $200 million".

Yes, I DO really need $200 million. In fact, I really need a whole lot more than that. Just keep sending me money and I will tell you when my need has been fulfilled.

It irritates me when people, socialists, presume to tell me what I do and do not need in my life. The impertinence is galling.

I do not need socialists in my life, that's for damn sure.

Ah, come on. Black is a comedian.

And he makes a good point. Canadians (and Europeans) do understand socialism. When we have millions around the world eating dirt instead of food, how can anyone justify the hideous accumulation of wealth and the enormous disparity our present economic policies promote?

You must be a libertarian.
