That businessmen can only get rich by exploiting the poor. That there is a set amount of wealth to go around, and that by making a profit, you steal money from the poor.

In the words of economist George Reisman:

“Whoever claims that economic competition represents 'survival of the fittest' in the sense of the law of the jungle, provides the clearest possible evidence of his lack of knowledge of economics.“

Let's see:
1. Al Gore is a champion of the environment whose personal lifestyle perfectly reflects his devotion to saving the Earth.
2. 9/11 was an inside job.
3. The only reason why Communism has been such a colossal failure everywhere it's ever been implemented is because it has never been fully, properly implemented.
4. The war in Iraq was all about oil.
