Capitalism is the only system that is perfect. This perfection comes from its imperfect members. Capitalism is based on contests of wits that selects the best product for the best price. All other social systems are based on who they know, what party they are a member of, what social economic scale they belong to. These socialistic systems fail because the wealth is not perfectly spread by those in government to others seemingly deemed more deserving.
All socialism systems have failed. The reason given is they were not perfectly implemented.
Neil Cavuto interviewed Dennis Kucinich. Cavuto says you must be glad to have all the stimulus, bailouts, etc. Kucinich said it is not right because it does not give enough to the poor, rather to Wall Street. If Kucinich gets all he wants, he only will want more.
Wall Street is part of all of us. We have buy and sell actions to get to the best product. This sets different values on American corporations. If corporations has more buys, then their stock prices go up, which grows portfolios. If stock prices goes down, corporations will have to improve or go bankrupt.
Further, if a corporation makes an excellent product efficiently, then we the people buy good, priced products and the corporation earns a profit. Non-capitalism systems wants to be fair and give that profit to where the government selects. The perfect selection is to those who earned it. And, those earned it does not mean who deserve it based on someone's opinion.
On a O'Reilly interview, he asked does the McCain's self-reliant speech affect the black vote. The black interviewee says the black vote of 90% Democrat is not racist and the self-reliance is good for the black people. The black people need better schooling, free or inexpensive college, health care, housing, etc. To him, self-reliance means how reliant government can be to him.
We have a longing inside us to succeed. If someone does it for us, we only become more demanding. If we have to do it for ourselves, we will. It is amazing what can happen once a person believes in self. This motivation is what capitalism gives us and what all other systems take away.
God is the only one that is perfect. He makes it look easy. Everyone else is not and often our implementations are not perfect.
To make it easier, many demand more from the rich. Saying the rich do not deserve their wealth, says other who did not earn it are more worthy of their wealth. Eventually, they will hate God, too. Then, our country is a welfare state that is no longer be based on God.
