Story of the poor miner.

So let me tell you about the story about the poor miner.

So one time there is a hurricane, a poor man argued that why he didn’t have a good house to live in and take shade from. A god (this is a fictional story, there is no god in real life) listened and asked what he wants. The poor man said that he want to have a rich man to become poor, and let the rich man earn money the same way as himself. The ‘god’ said yes and made one rich man poor. The god gave them both each a mine, and said that this mine will be destroyed a year later by another hurricane. Therefore they need to work hard to earn as many money as they want.

The first day, the poor man mined waaaaaay more ores than the poor man. They both sold the ores and the rich man only have few money.

But on the second day, the rich man hired a worker for him using the few money he earned. While the poor man is just using his own power to mine. The poor man also used up the money for expensive food for himself, as he thinks he will win due to his strength.

Day passed and the rich person is hiring more and more people to help him. While the poor person did nothing but mine on his own as he thinks it’s cheating to hire workers. The rich person now earned way more money than the poor person and even started to buy mines elsewhere, expanding his mining empire.

A year later, the hurricane come. The rich person has became a billionaire again, while the poor person don’t have much money left. The poor person is jobless again! He said that all he want is to work for the rich person.

They started with the same capitals, but because of his brilliance, the ex-rich person succeeded again while the poor person continues to be poor! That perfectly showcases that capitalism appreciates people with brilliance and intelligence while eliminating stupid people. That’s just fair, and way fairer than red ole’ commies.
