Via Heritage, a great spoof on our self-esteem culture from SNL.

 

In the midst of humor, SNL struck on a sad reality for much of American culture. Faux-celebrities are placed on pedestals, while real success is shot down.

Capitalism and the free market are under assault, politicians are fomenting class warfare, and a target has been drawn squarely on our country’s job creators.
