Rocco and Vinnie Debate Modern Economics
ROCCO
Gouging? Oil Companies? How could you?
VINNIE
I’m ashamed!
ROCCO
It’s like saying democracy is a filthy swindle.
VINNIE
It’s not! It’s supply and demand. Anybody knows that.
ROCCO
I’m confused. Democracy and Capitalism synonymous?
VINNIE
In the US ‘tis.
ROCCO
The same gigantic screw?
VINNIE
Back to oil companies.
ROCCO
An endless loop.
VINNIE
At the end of the day, that’s unpatriotic!
ROCCO
You’re right. Resembles truth.
VINNIE
And What is truth? asks jesting Pilate.
ROCCO
A pirate ship, I answer that old comedian. Anyway, shall we keep skull and crossbones afurl, or run up stars and stripes?
VINNIE
Same.
