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.
I've decided I can't be politically correct anymore. (I never was, actually)
Well said! Nice ride
ReplyDeleteWe have been feeding the freeloaders way too long, let them starve and die off, end of problem.
ReplyDeleteTruth is a great thing.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the taxes and fees paid on it: sales tax, gas tax, excise tax on the tires, title tax, registration fee, etc, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat money goes toward paying for social welfare programs, schools and colleges, road and bridge construction and maintenance, law enforcement, and every government job there is, all of which pay people to administer or build or create or do.
And he who buys the most, pays the most toward all of these.
Great answer or come back. Eye opener for all, especially the socialist.

Thank you I learned something today
ReplyDeleteit will feed me when I rebuild the transmission in it!
ReplyDeleteVery good article. The only thing is there was no mention of how many free loaders got fed from the taxes paid on it. You have to include these a$$holes because they always get theirs first.
