"I wonder how many people could have been fed for the money that sports car cost."

A guy looked at my new 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 sk**ls and services.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for.

That was absolutely, fabulously well said. Same thing for my big-ass house.

This is priceless Iron. And stated in a way that (maybe) even the liberal mind can understand.

Dear Mr. Iron:
I would like to copy and paste this to my Facebook page. If that is okay, how would you like the APA reference to read?
