It ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe

Life is full of little instances where a simple solution sits there smiling at someone, but they just refuse to acknowledge it.  A guy comes in the door with an extra large pizza.  There are eight people, and eight slices of pizza. The guy who brought the pizza explains that he will eat seven pieces of pizza, and the other seven people can cut up one slice into tiny pieces and eat it.

The reaction of the seven people who are going to eat the tiny little pieces is " Are you crazy?". " Let me explain" says the guy who brought the pizza. " I brought the pizza, there would be no pizza if it were not for me, so you are damn lucky to get any".   This is how capitalism works.  The seven hungry people ignore the obvious, and acquiesce.  The fat guy who brought the pizza tells them that if they work hard someday they will be able to eat seven pieces of pizza and give one away.

So we live in a world with plenty of pizza, but people are starving. We accept an insane pizza distribution system, but we buy into a crazy fantasy that there will be a day when everyone has seven pieces of pizza and no one has to eat tiny pieces of pizza.  We buy into the idea that the best way to supply pizza to the world is to let one guy eat seven slices.  Of course this is all insane, and totally crazy, but it gets sold, and simple mined people buy the idea. We live in a world of plenty, yet so many don't have plenty.

To top this all off the fat guy who is going to eat the seven pieces of pizza has convinced the other seven that sharing the pizza more equally would be a terrible thing.  He explains that if he just shared the pizza correctly it would be bad for everyone.  No one would work hard to be a fat selfish guy, and fat selfish guys would not bring pizza to anyone's house.

"Wait" exclaims a small slicer, What if we all got together and baked a big pizza, then we shared the big pizza among us?"

No, no, no the fat guy says. That would be socialism, or communism.  You would have to live under a dictatorship, and you could not have guns, or Jesus.  "Wow, that makes sense" the small slicer says. "Sharing leads to a disaster".

"Of course" says the fat guy".

So everybody sits in the kitchen nibbling away at their little piece of pizza, and thanking the fat guy. The fat guy smiles at them and tells them " Someday maybe you can work hard, inherit a lot of money, learn to be immoral, and be a fat guy eating so much pizza it kills you."
