The Kardashians

The Kardashian family reported taxable income of 25 million dollars last year. Last week one of the girls was married and it is said that she sold residuals from her marriage (endorsements, pictures) so that the wedding made a profit.

The nation is in terrible shape. We have a decreasing manufacturing base, we are concerned about the environment so much we discourage mining, logging and refining. We say we are a "service society" but anesthesia and tax advice don't travel across borders well. Yet here we have a family of girls who have virtually no discernable assets other than full lips and large mammary glands who are making a fortune.

This makes one wonder what industries the government should "invest" in, what industries are going to "win the future". But if the Kardashian girls are making money for nothing, perhaps they should get their own cabinet post.
