Politically Charged Playing Cards

52 Shades of Greed Shows Economic Crisis Perpetrators

This series of playing cards called 52 Shades of Greed is the perfect item for anyone who is interested in politics or for anyone who is angered by those who aren't held accountable for their actions.

Many of us were hit hard after the financial crisis, and a lot of the people who were on the back end of the issue are still living large with high-paying jobs. This deck of cards was created in order to hold those people accountable for their actions.

There are different depictions of those who were involved and there is also a facetious caption that is included. 28 different New York-based artists came together to create this collection. These cards are available for purchase and they are perfect for anyone who is still outraged from the crisis, or anyone who is apathetic and could use some information regarding the collapse of major banks.
