I see my Socialism analogy hit a big hot button. It's common sense.
There was once an evil capitalist named Steve who loved to wear a top hat, sweater vest and used a cane. Steve was the baron of a big company that produced widgets. Steve happened to have the only factory in the entire town of Doltsville and almost the entire town worked for him. Because there were no other factories to compete Steve paid his workers very terribly, only minimum wage. These workers had to stay long hours and had very poor working conditions. Steve had found corrupt people in OSHA to pay off so they overlooked the poor working conditions. And since everyone in the town relied on Steve's factory to make a living no one said boo about it.
So these workers became poorer and poorer as Steve bought the rest of the businesses in town and started rasing the price of everything. While Steve got fatter and fatter...
This story while not true, is an apt example of why Capitalism is so evil...

Socialists cry "Power to the people", and raise their clenched fists as they say it.
We all know what they really mean -- power over people, power to the State.

Socialism is a failed model. Sorry you don't possess the brains to admit it.
