No, I’m not referring to the Occupy Oakland protestors getting teargassed and beaten by the local agents of Big Government. Instead, I’m referring to the free-food providers at Zucotti Park in New York.
A number of the protestors thought it would be a good and harmonious idea to provide free food for the other protestors, and promptly went to work on doing exactly that. Coupling their own hard labor with financial expenditure, they’ve apparently been putting out a whole lot of food. While I can’t say as I think much of their larger goal of extinguishing capitalism and replacing it with a modernized form of fascism, I commend them for their work ethic and commitment.
But there’s been a problem: turns out protestors aren’t the only ones taking advantage of the free chow.

The short form here is that the food preparers have decided to curb food production from goofy hipster dishes like “organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad” down to the likes of brown rice and PB&J sammiches because they’ve discovered that by offering free food to all comers, they have been set upon by “professional homeless,” “vagrants, criminals and other freeloaders.” As a result, they’ve been working 18 hours a day and feel “overworked and under appreciated.”
Now, what lessons can be drawn here?

Who would have thought?
“Wait, wait! When we said ‘redistribute the wealth’, we didn’t mean ours!”
That’s typical of those of the socialistic mind set, “I don’t want the world, just your half.”
Welcome to Socialism!
