Snowstorm Economics

Do you know people who are frightened by socialism because they don’t really understand what it is? Try this analogy:

If you buy a snow shovel with your own money, that’s capitalism. If your neighbor plows your walk with their snowblower, that’s charity. If your town buys snow plows with your tax money, that’s socialism. No drama, no cause for fear, just same old same old. We decide what we want to spend public funds on, and what individuals have to buy for themselves.
