I think some cables are just a little too expensive.

A while back a shop I did business with carried Transparent Audio Cables. They were so expensive it was obscene. They did sound good, but you had to move up from the bottom to the more idiotically pricey models to start to feel the magic. It had been several years ago and I wanted to check in on my old friends at Transparent Audio. This is their top of the line speaker cable. Now if you don't have a problem with this whole cable thing, this might push you over the edge. I can't imagine a speaker that would need such a cable. Wilson? Rockport? What amp? You can buy a nice luxury vehicle for the same price as a pair of speaker cables? Nelson Pass would be embarrassed to see these monstrosities on one of his amplifiers.

So, let's see if I get all this.  If we all buy expensive wires to hook up our expensive stereo systems, everyone will become a billionaire.

Or, if we do not buy them, America will become a commie (I love that word from the 1950's!) dictatorship with an authoritarian leader who lies to the people and uses our armed services to keep us all doing what he or she says.  Or ELSE!

Wow!  I guess some of us has a LOT of time on our hands these days.

Well, thanks for the entertainment...oh, wires make no difference in systems unless you are still using the 22-gauge Radio Shack spools from your college dorm Advents from 1960 that the cat has chewed on.

Cheers!

+1 noromance, some may indicate that the cables are not expensive, just that some can’t afford them. A humbling thought.

chrismini,
Sorry for your bad fortune, but you did tell the sad story twice. Forgive yourself and move on. Other people do similar things but don't get caught.

Countering the fairness argument with a false dichotomy that it's either all-out Mad Max libertarianism or The Gulag is disingenuous. 
As it is, we get minimal benefits for our taxes. A few crumbs like universal healthcare, removal of property taxes, and college costs in line with Europe might be a start.
