Santa's bogus socialism

Are there really "gifts for everyone according to their own needs"? I don't think so!! It's not socialism if you get gifts from Santa according to your parents' income. He's a crony capitalist.

Who appointed Santa Claus the world's gift-bestower? And what are the checks and balances on his enormous power over the world's children?

Is the magic toy workshop in compliance with OSHA standards? Are the elves unionized? Do we know if he's even following EEO hiring standards rather than just favoring elves over other job applicants?

How do even know if these so-called reindeer aren't being drugged so they can fly around the world in one night? PETA needs to investigate!!!

They're not local, you know. What are the environmental effects?

And what about the coal? You know he's got to have ties to the coal lobby.

and current ID in case someone is up when he comes down the chimney, and roof parking regulations sticker on the front of the sleigh...can't be too careful these days.

This...this here...needs a congressional investigation...on the fast track...less than a month away !!! Bet he'll be too busy to comply with subpoena, but will answer written questions. Just make a damn list...but check it twice, OK?
