Mm, the luxury of fine things. Just look at those black monk straps! After spending an entire day hustling, who's to say that you didn't deserve a pair of ridiculously expensive shoes on your tired feet?

You're right, beautiful things do make people happy...

Beautiful things give you a rush. It's power -- crafting your style, draping your flesh in silk and leather, deciding how to present yourself to the world.

Remember, when they come to take it away from you -- you worked for those shoes. Whether you like it or not, wearing these shoes has made you more liberal -- ultraliberal.

They're either a gateway drug -- or a booster pack -- to get you deeper into free market ideology.

Oops, it's a fashion faux pas! [Discard the thought -- and the shoes!]

Let's hope no one saw you wearing these outrageously expensive -- and ultraliberal! -- shoes.
