what’s a Capitalist
A genuine capitalist with a grasp of the real world! What a great answer!
The Corvette.
A man posted on his Facebook account the sports car that he had just bought and how a man approached and told him that the money used to buy this car could've fed thousands of less fortunate people.
His response to this man made him famous on the internet.
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.
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.

It fed me, and my family as well as paying for several guns.
I worked 10 years at an Owen's Corning plant where the fiberglass for the body of that car was made.

Excellent post, but sadly, the wacko leftists who want socialism in the USA are entirely too stupid and ignorant to effectively read and understand that simple post.

An excellent definition of all that is right with capitalism and a strong work ethic

Well, I had a fall, and a crazy blood pressure that took a while to conquer, and was just not up to a lot of repartee. Good to see you Mike!
