Capitalism
A guy looked at my Corvette the other day and said I wonder how many people could have been fed for
the money that sports car cost. I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families in Bowling Green, Kentucky who built it, it fed the people who make the tires, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wires, it fed people in Decatur IL. at Caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore. It fed the trucking people who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families. BUT,... I have to admit, I guess I really don't know how many people it fed. That is the difference between capitalism and welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills. Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value, which was produced by someone who worked. When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth. (But you may buy a vote!) [Actually, that wasn't my Corvette!] |

"When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth. (But you may buy a vote!)" Odd...didn't stop you from taking whatever you could from Uncle Sam. |

Odd...didn't stop you from taking whatever you could from Uncle Sam. It's called a contract. He gave something of value to the govt. in return for something of value. This is far different than the so called teat sucking that liberals are so fond of. Now do you get it? -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

The people who screwed up have probably been kicked up stairs or are enjoying their retirement benefits. |
