It's Everybody's Business

Economy schmeconomy and Capitalism schmapitalism, amirite? Now depending on how you reacted to that statement you're either passionate about Capitalism and your country's current economic state or you don't give a damn, and frankly it's okay to feel either way about these financial matters.

But we're not here to argue- we're here to watch an old timey cartoon show about Capitalism, more specifically a "Corporate Cold War-era cartoon linking Bill of Rights to free-enterprise ideology" from 1954.

And despite how it may seem It's Everybody's Business isn't boring at all, especially when viewed with 21st century eyeballs.

Barely two minutes into the video, they lost me. "... and all those who set foot on these shores had the opportunity to build a better life for themselves." Except for those who were brought here against their will to be sold to the highest bidder. And that 40-hour work week? That wasn't because of the success of the business. That was accomplished by labor unions.
