Ever wonder what things would be like if the current people trying to "redesign our country" were put in charge of redesigning airplanes? Here's how it might go:
Socialist: "It's not fair that Boeings get to hold more fuel than Bombardiers. Effective immediately, all Boeings will be limited to holding no more than 20,000 lbs of fuel."
Capitalist: "But then Boeings would have to fly shorter distances, or carry fewer people."
Socialist: "20,000 lbs of fuel is plenty. They don't need more to fly. They'll be just fine without the extra. In fact, all extra fuel that would have been put on Boeings will be put on the RJs, just to make it fair."
Capitalist: "But then the RJs will be wasteful and inefficient, if you just load them up with free fuel."
Socialist: "It's called shared sacrifice. We're all in this together."
I love this "change you can believe in." Definitely would work out better.
