Capitalism or Socialism

We made a huge cake 30 feet X 20 feet with 50 different color and flavor with the cake.
It was so huge in size for a single family. So we invited our friends and those who saw it was amazed with awe! We ate whatever we can and stored more than what we could eat for 7 days!
Still there was plenty so we encouraged our friends to eat whatever they can, try the different flavors and take what they want! In spite of this there was plenty left. So we called our neighbors and passersby to enjoy the cake. The colors and the aroma of the 50 different types within the huge cake took the guests to unbelievable enjoyment. As there was so much more the guests asked as if they can invite some of their friends! The answer was YES! and so more arrived with their own little treats to share.

As people rejoiced and more people arrived, the hosts thought that there may not be enough for everyone and requested the guests to limit themselves to a 5 pieces a person. Guests who came with their own little and huge treats expected a bigger share of the big cake and arranged to have more in exchange for their treat! After some time it so happened that there was very little cake and more people. So everyone was asked to have take only one piece no matter if they brought any treat themselves or not - A very reasonable way to share the original cake with everyone that was present! Many started to complain and some started to leave the party stating it was not much fun now as it was in the beginning of the party!
