Fill the landfills!  It is your captialist duty!  If you aren't generating 
tons of garbage and spending your money on frivolous innovations that will 
be outdated in five years, how can our economy ever survive?


After all, the corporate lords and masters went to the trouble to buy the 
government policy makers to see things their way--the least you could do is 
spend your money cheerfully on everything that they tell you that you 
need.  Otherwise, you might do something frivolous like try to feed the 
needy or something stupid like that!

Ok, that was dripping with so much sarcasm that it even frightened me!
