A good friend of mine has a saying I find marvelously evocative, to explain capitalism and socialism in a nutshell.




Capitalism is the possibility of a Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast with everything.... Socialism is the certainty of plain oatmeal with no syrup.


:D


 
:lamo funny :).

Someone told me that under capitalism the rich become powerful and under socialism the powerful become rich.

Not as fun as yours but, I think it's kinda true.

I used to be a roll of cinnamon, lil brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt and sliced pear kinda guy.

But lately.... peanut butter. My world hasn't changed this much since I installed my bidet.
 
Yeah well I'm from the south, I know diddly about oatmeal, we eat grits.

Yeah. That's why all developed economies in the world are mixed/hybrid systems.

Here is another quote, any philosophy that can be put into a nutshell should stay there.
