What's Capitalism ever done for us?

REG:
Yeah. All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what has Capitalism ever given us in return?!
XERXES:
Lasik?
REG:
What?
XERXES:
Cheap and effective laser eye surgery!
REG:
Oh. Yeah, yeah. It did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.
COMMANDO #3:
And the IPod.
LORETTA:
Oh, yeah, the Ipod, Reg. Remember what the recording industry used to be like?
REG:
Yeah. All right. I'll grant you that Lasik and the Ipod are two things that Capitalism has done.
MATTHIAS:
And Microsoft Windows.
REG:
Well, yeah. Obviously Microsoft Windows. I mean, the OS goes without saying, doesn't it? But apart from the Lasik, the Ipod, and the Windows--
COMMANDO:
Target.
XERXES:
Amazon.com.
COMMANDOS:
Huh? Heh? Huh...
COMMANDO #2:
Airbags.
COMMANDOS:
Ohh...
REG:
Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.
COMMANDO #1:
And Starbucks.
COMMANDOS:
Oh, yes. Yeah...
FRANCIS:
Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Communists took over. Huh.
COMMANDO:
OS X.
REG:
All right, but apart from the OS X, Starbucks, Amazon.com, airbags, Lasik, The Ipod, Windows, what has Capitalism ever done for us?
XERXES:
Brought freedom.
REG:
Oh. Freedom? Shut up!
