Read this : The difference between a capitalist and a socialist
One day, a socialist knocks on a farmer’s door and asked him to join the local socialist party. Not knowing what a socialist was, the farmer asked for an example of socialist behavior. The socialist said,
“If you have a cow, then everyone in the village can have some of the milk from your cow. It’s called sharing the wealth”.
“That sounds good, “said the farmer.
” And if you have a sheep, ” the socialist said,” then everyone shares in the wool. ”
” Very nice, ” said the farmer,” This socialism sounds good. ”
” That’s great, ” said the socialist, believing that he had a convert to socialism.” And if you have a chicken, then everyone shares in the eggs. ”
” What? ” the farmer screamed angrily.” That’s terrible. Get out of here and take your socialist ideas with you. ”
” But, but, but, ” stammered the socialist,” I don’t understand. You were happy with the idea of sharing milk and wool. Why do you object to sharing eggs? ”
” Because I don’t have a cow or a sheep, ” snarled the farmer.” But I do have a chicken “.
And this is why financial IQ #2 (Protecting your money) is very important. Everyone agrees that we need to share the wealth, as long as it’s YOUR wealth, not THEIR wealth.
Culled from Robert T. Kiyosaki’s INCREASE YOUR FINANCIAL IQ: GET SMARTER WITH YOUR MONEY.
