Capitalist: so you believe that wealth and property should be distributed according to need?

Communist: yes

Capitalist: If you had two houses and I need a house would you give me one?

Communist: yes

Capitalist: If you had two cars and I need a car would you give me one?

Communist: yes

Capitalist: If you had two shirts and I need a shirt would you give me one?

Communist: no

Capitalist: Wait a minute - you said if you had two houses or two cars you would give me one if I needed it, but you won't give me a shirt???

Communist: (smiling) ahhh, but the two shirts I have
