This isn’t a good analogy. The man who is walking is not directly contributing to the car or having anything to do with the car.

See my response to the other comments. I what I’m getting at is that the premise of the original comment was ridiculous and nobody will ever get on board with it, much less politicians. Instead of offering ridiculous, impossible solutions that make us look like idiots, why don’t we just go for something reasonable like a better minimum wage? Then people will be prosperous enough to start their own companies, if they desire. Not everyone wants to own their own company or share the responsibility of such a thing.

Okay, but if that was your point, you should use an analogy that drives your point home. What you’re saying now is nothing like your original comment lol.

Not true. The original poster was suggesting that someone just randomly give away something to somebody else. Analogies are always imperfect, and I’m surprised that I have to explain that to you.
