Keeping Up With the Dow Joneses

According to the warped logic of the Idiocracy, you are a fool for not being a fool...


If you don't go out and get the highest paying job you can find regardless of the consequences to your health, family life, and happiness -  then, clearly you are a "lazy fool"

And if you don't borrow as much money as possible in order to buy the biggest house and most expensive car you can('t) afford - then you are a "crazy fool".

And if you don't borrow unlimited amounts of money to send your kid to the "best" University possible, regardless of whether or not they will get a job in the end. Then you are a "dumb fool" (and so will be your children).

And if you don't believe in and vote for one of two essentially identical mainstream political parties. Then you are an "anarchist fool".

And if you aren't willing to drive your kids across three states to a soccer tournament. Then you are a "bad parent fool".

And if you don't watch Kardashians and American Idol. Then you are a "lonely fool".

My only wish in life is to be more of a fool...
