You’re no doubt aware of Margaret Thatcher’s quote about socialism:

“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Margaret_Thatcher

I was pondering on that and had this thought:

“The problem with capitalism is that eventually you run out of people to exploit.”

Now I don’t know if I read that somewhere long ago, or if it’s some amalgamation of my readings, but regardless or origin, I like it. (And I do hope it’s an original thought – I don’t have many of those.)
