American Capitalism

Capitalism is sort of like a game of poker, where people are all competing against one another. Everyone gets five cards, and if you are skillful and know how to bluff when you need to - and you get a lucky hand every now and then - you can win out.

Now, American Capitalism is a little different. In American Capitalism, whoever comes to the table with the most money almost always wins. This happens because you can pay the dealer to give you extra cards. Or you can pay the dealer to withhold cards from your competitors.

In American Capitalism, if you win a hand and it is discovered that you cheated by peeking at your neighbor's cards, you are only fined a small percentage of your winnings.

In American Capitalism, if you complain to the dealer that you only got 4 cards and your competitor six, you are chastised for being lazy, and you are expected to overcome the seemingly unfair odds.

In American Capitalism if you get a bad hand you can just buy new cards. If you cannot afford new cards, you must play the hand you're dealt.
