An objectivist friend did that one time back in 1980. He picked up
an expensive book, some kind of coffee-table book on their favorite
Chairman. When they rang up the purchase, he was shocked: "You, you
mean, you want me to pay *money* for this? But you have all these
books and I don't have any! Is that fair?" They were actually
stumped by this, and ended up giving some kind of excuse like "some
of the money goes to support the revolution," or something like that.
