If we're lucky, the majority of voters will see the socialist insurgency in America for exactly what it is: a bunch of rich, privileged, spoiled theatre kids cosplaying as the proletariat. There's a reason why white, college-educated voters support these posers in droves while working-class and minority voters largely reject the socialist candidates. 

The hypocrisy is the point, of course. Socialists say they're against personal property, but what they mean is they're against you owning property. They get to own luxury condos, mansions, and $1.5 million New York homes. They say they're against prison, but what they mean is they'll put you in prison for being an enemy of the regime while criminals roam free. They oppose travel because it harms the environment, but only for you; they'll continue flying on private jets. 

Billie Eilish is another one of those anti-capitalist, anti-American hypocrites. While she claims America is "stolen land," she had no problem calling ICE on a guy who joked he'd move to California and live on her property. That land, by the way, historically belongs to the Tongva tribe, and a law firm offered to file suit on their behalf to reclaim their land. Eilish, of course, is not giving up her mansion to the rightful owners of that "stolen land."

And now she's peddling another fragrance, one that isn't exactly cheap, like a good little capitalist.

Weird.

Ulta carries Eilish's fragrance line, which ranges in price from $18 to $100, depending on what you buy. It's wild she's not giving this away for free, under her belief that capitalism is bad. Then again, Eilish is worth about $54 million dollars, so she knows how to make bank. She just doesn't want anyone else to earn a decent living or get wealthy. That's only for special people like her.

To quote Barack Obama, "At some point, you've made enough money." 

Unless you're a leftist, that is.

As a capitalist, I don't care if Eilish sells perfume for $8 a bottle or $800. But I'm also a fan of holding the Left to their own standards, and Eilish shouldn't be allowed to be wealthy if she professes a hatred of the very system that has given her more money than most of us will ever see, even if we all pooled our resources. 

Socialism, like charity, should begin at home. So if Eilish wants to redistribute some of that wealth my way, I'll gladly send her my address. If she doesn't, we have to ask why she is a capitalist pig who hates the working class. 

Them's the rules; I don't make them. But I won't hold my breath to hear from her accountant.
