Capitalism
Capitalism
You can be any color, any sex, any religion, any race, any age, have any amount of schooling or education, even be a high school dropout, come from any financial background, and be successful as a Capitalist and own your very own business or be an investor in someone else’s.
Capitalism is totally blind, deaf, and dumb. She rewards you for exactly what you are worth, what you produce, and the quality and quantity of service you offer, and it can be long term and quick. Both ability and stupidity is rewarded without bias and with equal measure. Because of this it is a magnet to some, and abhorred by others.
Capitalism in her purest form has done more good for people than all other institutions combined and yet far too many blame her for problems they themselves and their followers create. This is in part because they truly fear the value placed on them and their ideas by a system that has no bias and only rewards results, not good intentions, and in fact punishes the lazy, the idle, the loons, and those that would force ideas without merit on others.
Only when these people that abhor Capitalism control the government can these ideas then be forced upon society where they then can loot the goods honestly produced by Capitalist’s and give them to those that produce nothing. Rather than rightfully calling it stealing or theft, they call it societal responsibility.
Andrew Anderson
Capitalism is the only system that functions in a way which rewards rationality and penalizes all forms of irrationality….It is capitalism that gave mankind its first steps toward freedom and a rational way of life. It is capitalism that broke through national and racial barriers, by means of free trade. It is capitalism that abolished serfdom and slavery in all the civilized countries of the world.”
Ayn Rand
“Capitalism is the only system that can make freedom, individuality, and the pursuit of values possible in practice.”
Ayn Rand
I had originally came up with the Capitalism excerpt as it pertains to Real Estate but it is true for all types of Capitalism. As you can see, Ayn Rand was way ahead of me.
All too often, Capitalist let the “Moochers” as Ayn Rand called them define, describe, and label Capitalists. It infects society. With such phrases as Dirty Rich, Filthy Rich, Robber Barron, Evil Corporations, Windfall Profits (as if they came out of nowhere by magic and not years of hard work).
So anyway, be proud and feel good that you are a Capitalist, You help more people than all of the Government Programs and Charities combined.
