The obscenity of American capitalism

A recent study has shown that the gap between rich and poor has increased in the United States. This is consistent with other statistics that we have been seeing lately about the state of American capitalism. For example, it was earlier reported that Wall Street bonuses for 2005 reached a record $21.5 billion.

The obscenity that is American capitalism knows no bounds.

Actually, I think this is no longer capitalism. We're well over the "bounds" into some post-capitalist miasma of fascism/surrealism/defeatism. We'll think of a name for it, I'm sure. Of course then the name will be co-opted and used as a title for a WB/UPN multicultural comedy series with four original episodes repeated thousands of times in reruns.
