Capitalism

Why do I like capitalism? I don’t think it is a perfect economic system or philosophy. To some it means "just to make money" but it is the only system that will guarantee individual rights and property. Uncontrolled it can turn into a disaster. Men would take and survive according to their strength, wit and power. Survival of the fittest. In the past men have tried to control capitalists with labor unions. I guess that worked. I am not in favor of unions but if that was their intent and only interest it would be okay. I have no hope that they could ever limit themselves because once they have power they want to keep it.
The reason I support capitalism is because of charity. Seems odd maybe but think about property rights. You can only give something away when you own it. Under socialism you own less and less. Under communism the government owns everything. When that happens, only the government can help the poor and needy. That is one of the evils of socialism. It takes away chances to help people. Socialism claims to help people so you don’t have to I guess. It’s a lie. It doesn’t work. Not only does it not function in practice but in theory it cannot work. It doesn’t help to make bad ideas bigger. Take education for example. Government education isn’t very effective. It has some success because of the strenuous labor of some dedicated individuals. Any success one could claim is the success of a parent or a teacher and not the system. How does government try to improve the system? By making it bigger and more powerful. That only makes it worse. Education would be better without government involvement.
In the same manner social causes would benefit greatly if government was not involved. Those in need would received better care and it wouldn’t cost as much.

I support capitalism, not to make money but to give it away.
