Showing Original Post only (View all)So I took a bunch of vegetables from my garden to the coffee shop this morning [View all]
to share with my friends and neighbors. Although we rarely discuss politics there, I know most of them are Republicans. Not teabagger wingnuts, but on the conservative side of the political spectrum, and mostly elderly people whose company I enjoy.
As I set the large box of zucchini, peppers, squash, okra, etc on the table I told everyone to help themselves. Someone said "You're not charging anything for this stuff?" and I said, no, this is a communist produce stand. It is collectively owned by all here. They all laughed, as did I.
Didn't slow them down from garabbing the stuff, though.

You should have said no, there is no charge or tax, just a user fee.

That was very nice of you. Sharing is a reward all by it self, giving free stuff to capitalists...
