Quick one from Dr Orvel Trainer, Chairman Economics, Univ of Northern Colorado, 1973
(updated and paraphrased)
You're hangin' out with some friends, and someone suggests you all pitch in and order a pizza, which is going to be 3 or 4 bucks each.
By the time the delivery guy rings the bell, you're really hungry. So you make a mad dash for the door, pay for the whole thing yourself, and sit at the kitchen table enjoying your pizza while pushing everybody else away.
This does not make you a capitalist taking advantage of your opportunities as they present themselves.
This makes you an asshole.
