Timm's lil quote:

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal distribution of blessing. The inherent vice of socialism
is the equal distribution of misery"
Winston Churchill

I won't take as much issue with the 2nd sentence (not as far off as the 1st sentence is.) He's wrong about Capitalism. Capitalism always forces a lot of people to be very poorly paid in order for a very few to be very rich. There is a connection between the two factors. We've struggled to get to this form of Capitalism that he's describing. It's never just a case of not getting ones fair share of the goodies. It's always a case of some having to eat rats so the very few can eat steak.
