Are you an economic Marxist?


Groucho Marxist, that is…

“The nickel today is not what it was fifteen years ago. Do you know what this country needs today? A seven-cent nickel. Yessiree, we’ve been using the five-cent nickel in this country since 1492. Now that’s pretty near a hundred years’ daylight saving.

“Now, why not give the seven-cent nickel a chance? If that works out, next year we could have an eight-cent nickel. Think what that would mean. You could go to a newsstand, buy a three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back again. One nickel carefully used would last a family a lifetime.”
(from Animal Crackers)

Note: This Cool Observer re-run (of sorts) is brought to you by, well...by the fact it went virtually unnoticed back on 11-21-04.
