Has anyone noticed how Jerry Seinfeld's show was a warning about socialism?
For example: When George became stronger Elaine became a pushover parasite. Kramer never seemed to have a job, but lived the high life with a very nice Manhattan apartment. How could he have afforded this? Was Kramer living on Section 8 Vouchers and collecting a type of SNAP benefits? If it wasn't the drug or sex trade I have to wonder how an adult could make a living acting like Kramer did.
The warning signs were all there. They had the episode where the car was literally torched for parking in a disabled spot. They had the episode about the Puerto Rican Day Parade that cut them off from their own world. George even managed to injure a Boy In a Bubble while attempting to help him. It was like a blueprint for the future of the Obamacare plan.
Even the subtle background details included vague hints of future liberalism. Jerry had a bike hanging in his apartment, and an Apple computer. A man who is strict about the rules on his private property in his own business is mocked as being a Soup Nazi. The entire "Not there there's anything wrong about that" "joke"? The phrase "Cartwright, party of four" is a joke instead of taking PC just too far.
What was the world coming to in the 1990's, when this was acceptable as a "SitCom" for parents to watch with their children?
