A man was looking at a beautiful Cadillac Escalade and said, “I wonder how many people could have been fed for the cost of that car.” I replied, “I’m not sure. It fed a lot of families of the people in Michigan and Texas who built it; it fed the people who made the tires; it fed the people who made the components; it fed the people in the copper mine who mined the copper for the wiring; and it fed the people who made the trucks that haul the copper ore.”
That’s 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.
