Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?
A sound capitalist principle.
Yeah, but eventually you get married anyway and then one day you wake up and think “Oh my God, I married a cow.”
Or is it why buy the milk if you can get the cow for free? Ah, prostitution, the world’s oldest profession and also another sound capitalist principle.
Why is it illegal to charge for something that is perfectly legal to give away?
The problem with capitalism, it seems to me, is that it is organic and innate and comes natural and grows and continues to grow no matter what legal pesticides you spray on it. Drugs have been illegal forever and there are people making millions on them.
Supply and demand isn’t just a stale economic concept. It’s a, if not THE, driving force in human society.
I find this fascinating, and while I admire the heart of the socialist, which is an adult, intellectualized version of pre-school’s “share and share alike”, it can’t compete with the human need and the human greed which will satisfy it.

But let me explain why I think this time is different.
First of all, I know a lot of union guys.
Guys who mine coal, guys who run the trains that haul the coal that has been mined.
These guys are, by and large, Democrats.
Last time around we were all getting drunk together, and one of the wives said
“I would rather have Obama do nothing for another four years than have Romney do anything at all.”
I posted it on Tumblr and it got like 22,000 notes. Here it is.
This time around, these guys all support Trump, as do their wives.
What to make of it? Trump is for real. If he scares you, you should be scared, real scared. The shit going down now is all very much like Reagan in 1980.
I’m the first to admit that I said the Republicans could never win another national election. Now, I’m like, how can they possibly lose?

CAPITALISM! That’s why. If a person can make waffles, why not sell them something that can ease their waffle-making? You make money, they have an easier time making waffles…
Everybody wins!
So you're saying Obama was a mediocre president becaue he was black?
Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m saying, you ninny.
It’s this kind of scab-picking PC bullshit that is going to doom the Democratic party. Hey, whatever though. You guys had your shot.
What came first, the waffle or the waffle iron?
The waffle, I would estimate. Else, why invent the iron?
Why do you thik liberals are 'waning' in America?
Dude, Obama fatigue first off. In 2008 he was a rock star, then 8 years down the road everybody realizes he hasn’t done jack shit. ObamaCare? For an ordinary person, like me, what it means is you can buy the health insurance you already had at a more expensive rate. I’ll give him a couple of kudos, though: he kept us out of any serious, ongoing military engagement, and he was the funniest president we ever had. It’s actually amazing that this country elected a black man as its leader, and it seems somehow appropriate that he turned out so mediocre.
Trump will take it. Just you watch.
