That's Capitalism, Baby

My dear 7 year-old daughter received a little civics lesson this afternoon while waiting in the car. It went something like this:

Me: Let's say you make your bed every day, set the table, and feed the dogs. Meanwhile, both your brothers sit on their butts playing the Wii. Would you like me to pay them the same allowance as I pay you?

Pooks: No.

Welcome to capitalism, Sweetie.
