The Deal on Those Wildly High Price Tags

That tub will turn green in a month and be in the scrap pile....

Heres the scoop : They're not worth it!!!

Further proof money doesn't buy brains or taste.

I know a most wonderful older man who is suffering from the pain of a hernia. His surgery here, in an impoverished country would only be several hundred dollars. He and his family cannot afford it. So sad to see him suffer, while others buy a thousand dollar desert plate.

These products suffer from lack of imagination. I can understand a car that is made from expensive metals and carbon fiber but some of these products are just dumb.

How about corporations (capital) creating businesses, capping their (executive) income and hiring (labor) and giving them shares in the companies. The money flows downward and upward continually. Everyone has what they need. Anyone outsourcing is "shot" as a traitor to our country.

Why would anyone want to pay to eat gold? Gold has no flavor so eating it would just be a way to give the preverbal middle finger to poor people.

Filthy rich spend in excess while the poor starve. I ain't no socialist but this type of spending makes me sick.

I've got no problem with dumb, rich people spending their money on items like the ones described. Spend away if you've got it. What I do have a problem with is when those people got rich at the expense of others. The bankers who committed crimes and never paid for it, the commodity tycoons who manipulate the price of goods, and on and on. You will invite revolution if you continue to keep the field unfairly tilted in your direction.

The most expensive iPhone app is 40$? That's bull, I saw one for 499$ once.

High prices today, does not guarantee quality, only satisfies social front. Name brands are losing power.

Was poor, then richer...and guess what? I was actually happier poorer because the more crap one buys\has, the more stress one has.

Easy living...a good pair of walking shoes, a comfortable backpack, a good tent, and a free thumb for hitchhiking. And at the end of the day, a warm meal and hot campfire.

just go into any grocery store today for your regular stuff

Is it reasonable price? Come on!

just once i would like to vote a candidate in, not use my vote to get some jerk out of office. ie bush - bush - now obama . . . .yeesh

Lighten up, folks. Do you think because you are suffering economically or any other way for that matter, everyone else in the world should go into mourning? There has been inequity since time began, get over yourselves. And as for the "let them eat cake" comment: I would agree it would be unconscionable if Bill Gates or some world leader were expressing that viewpoint, but they are not.

"a $25,000 dessert, an $845,000 bathtub, a $69 hot dog, a $1,000 bagel ... " THIS is where the extra taxes that the Middle and Lower income class have to pay - in order to subsidize the wealthy under the "Bush Tax Cuts for the Weealthy" only - goes to !!! Now ... if you make less than $250,000 per year ... aren't you glad to know that YOUR money is going toward these necessary items, instead of stupid stuff ... like food, rent, tuition, car repairs ... which you would otherwise have been wasting YOUR money on !?!?

VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS

Obscene beyond words.

I can't afford this stuff nor do I want any of it, but I do not begrudge those who can afford it and want it. People who spend their money help our economy. It's better than those with money who hoard it & do not help our economy,
