Satire only works if there's some reality to it at some level.

The current administration believes that a highly-centralized government-controlled economy is the answer to health care, energy, and pretty much everything else. Demonizing the private sector is a well-known step in this process, same as every other nation that's gone down this road.

Notice how successfully the government's role in the mortgage crisis has been swept off the table by the media. As far as the economically-ignorant are concerned, there is nothing in our economy that can't be fixed by ripping rich businessmen a new one. Once their income is brought down to "proper" levels, taxes will still be paid by Magic Tax Fairies, which is where many liberals think government money comes from now.

You can't seem to visualize economics outside of somebody "being in charge." That might be part of the problem.
