Quit your whinin'. That's a paddlin'

What is wrong with reviewers? This wasn't socilaist propaganda, it was an observation of the fact that corrupt politicians have sold out the people, dissolving the middle class, and that children growing up will not end up having wha their parents had. For all the whining about it not being funny: the last 5 seasons or so of South Park have been acerbic social commentary, directly criticising both the Democrats and Republicans. It's pure gold to watch, and much better than the old toilet humour of the show. For The Simspsons to make an episode that starts off feeling like a classic episode, then ends up being strong social commentary, this shows me the show has still got it. It's not a failure, it's a success. Satire is meaningless without making a point. This show makes a point. A good one. Those who think it's socialist to look after people should look at every democratic, caputalist country other than the USA. We all look after our people. At the very least, giving unemployed people welfare stimulates the economy. Australia gave people a thousand dollar tax refund in around 2010. The result was we didn't experience the Global Financial Crisis. Just think, people. Quit your whining. Use a dictionary before you talk about socialism again.
