Great illustration

Right, so it's the part where the small plants do survive where we start to have some complaints about this analogy.

This analogy was pretty accurate up until the part where he said "And then they got too much light"

I agree. I've yet to hear of a plant that got too much sunlight. However, socialism does screw over everyone, rich and poor alike.

Nooooot really. But as we long as we agree that at some point it breaks down.

I do see where I could've worded things a bit better

I appreciate that! Have an upvote

Plants /can/ get too much light.

Not a perfect analogy, but I agree with the message.
A plant can't receive too much sunlight

Actually they can:

"Too much light exposure can damage the photosynthetic process within a plant, and bleach the leaves. Eventually this will kill the plant. To combat this, plants in excess light may move their leaves perpendicular to the light source to have less exposure. Wilting can facilitate this! On a hot sunny day, a droopy, wilty leaf can be a protective measure because less surface area is exposed to the sun."

Huh. Didn't know that.
