Why does Mitt Romney like "The Hunger Games"?

I mean it's about a dystopian future where there is a rich elite, who live off the wealth of laborers, farmers, coal miners....who themselves live in poverty, have no workers' rights, no social safety net and who are oppressed if they complain...

and whose children are sent off to fight to the death "in combat" by the rich elite for their own political and entertainment purposes.

And it paints that world as a "bad thing"....so why would Mitt like...

what is essentially...a Republican Utopia??? :D

Would Mitt get to place $10000 side bets on the winner ?
 
Why do you make such ludicrous charges?

Did you like John Carter? (Why you Confederate-loving, Feudal adoring, Civil War supporting lover of Barbarian Hordes!)

What about The Color Purple? (That means you like beating and mistreating women!)

What about Titanic? (Means you support Industrialists skimming on production money, all so that innocent peeps can get drowned in icy waters!)

Star Wars? (yep, makes you a lover of massive Wars, slicing folks up with beams of light, and, of course....THE DARK SIDE!)

Me? Well, I tend not to put too much real world emphasis in a person's value of fantasy entertainment....

Doc, the SETTING of "The Hunger Games" is a direct assault on modern Republican/libertarian-corporatist ideals....i.e. Romneyism. As noted above. The elite rich have a ZERO tax rate. There is no "evil welfare"...unless you count Tesseret, where the poor can sign up for EXTRA chances to be chosen for the games, for a meager stipend of rations.

And the working folks in "District 12" as well as the other Districts live by the "free market" and if they try to go "OWS"....the "Peacekeepers" come in to crack down.

And as we've seen in Iraq, sending off OTHER people's children to die....is quite popular with Neo-conservatives. They even dream of a "Second Games" in Iran.
 
I like Animal Farm.

Guess that makes me a Stalinist!

I also like the stories of King Arthur.

Obviously makes me a Monarchist.

UH-OH. I just watched the entire series of the Sopranos. And I LIKED IT!

So...da question was...you talkin to me? Eh? An, what are you sayin about me, eh???? Want some watches, or a good lead on some betting numbers?
 
By the way...have YOU seen "The Hunger Games???"

What about John Carter??? (Yes, yes, I know...it is the "biggest flop" of all time, BUT...I really, really, liked it. Already seen it TWICE at the movies, and I tend to wait for most things to come out on DVD. I really wish that they could do a sequel, and, just cut some of the effects and what not.)

LOL! Now that was a good one.

Except for the fact that "teenage" boys, as well as GROWN UP boys and girls, have also voiced appreciation for the novels....
