I turn in my grave over the sale of my painting, The Scream, for $120 Million Dollars!
To think that there exists such a concentration of wealth in the hands of so few, while billions of people are barely scratching out the bare subsistence of life sickens me.
Art has a value, but human life is worth so much more.
The current state of the world and its narcissistic elite, turns me in my grave. I scream, "The Horror! The Horror!"
To play devil's advocate, well over half of the art I've been able to see in person was contributed to museums (several of which don't charge an admission fee) by wealthy people who spent millions of dollars on the pieces to make them available to the public.
don't forget the wealthy people that founded museums, the Guggenheim ( NYC), The Frick(NYC) the Museum of Modern Art ( NYC) The Metropolitam Museum of Art (NYC)and the Metropolitan Opera (NYC)

I know I can never do well and that all I ever get will be whatever I can beg from the government and because I can never have anything I really hate those who do have something.
There should be a way to take everything those rich bastards have and divvy it up between the rest of us who will never have anything. Once we've spent it all at least there won't be any rich bastards left and we'll all be miserable equally.
This twisted post is not what ows is about. Its just a dishonest tool of the 1% trying to discredit a great American movement fighting for working families.
They have a MILLION twisted little tricks up their sleeve, don't they.
ows a great american movement? it was started by a canadian group.lasn hates capitalism. soros funds this group through his many organizations.maurice strong is also a big part of the ows stategy. ows has nothing to do with "fighting for working families" they're fighting to destroy capitalism and the USA.
OWS is fighting to correct the inequities that exist as a result of the crimes that big business has perpetrated against the American people. Support American families. support ows

So, what do you say is the $ value of a human life? if you feel that human life has a $ worth , what are your feelings about late term abortion? Whats the big deal about how much someone was willing to pay for a drawing? why does it bother you so much that there are people with a lot of money? does it bother you that an actor can get paid 20 mil to act in a movie?
