Capitalism is a horrible economic system.... but all the others are worse.

So I feel about capitalism like Churchill felt about democracy.

I think its a great economic system. It rewards people who supply things that society wants and needs and does it more efficiently than any system ever devised by man.

In fact, it's one of the most moral systems on Earth. It rewards work ethic, the non-aggression principle, efficiency and helping your fellow man.

If you sit on your arse and make poor choices it will leave you behind, that is capitalism. Gives you incentive to work hard and learn as you move through life and become successful.

Also allows you to provide for your family and lay down a foundation for your family and future generations. Ya know that'swhy most iimmigrants came here, to give ones family more than what they had. Also allows you to give to those less fortunate, and man that feels awesome. I love capitalism, it's the reason I was up a 430 this morning.

I posit that a big problem is people acting on "feelings" rather than thoughts.



Just my thoughts on your feelings

Much bullshite exists in this thread. Capitalism is a fine economic system that values initiative and allows for almost unlimited growth and class mobility. Laissez Faire Capitalism which some of you think of as great though is an unmitigated disaster. Do anti-government types really want to return to 19th Century Government. Check your history before you speak. Greed is not good for an economy or business. Sorry Jordan Gecko was an idiotic character. Much of our current problem arises from the Greed of the uber rich and business deciding to take short term profits over the long term approach. Socialism is not a bad word and a combination of Capitalism and Socialism is probably best.

And yet you fight like hell to get as close to "all others" as possible.

In your first two words you give yourself away. Speaking based off of "your feelings" rather than your thoughts. No wonder you're so incredibly wrong so often.

Why did everyone down vote the OP? The concept of Imperfectability is a cornerstone of both Conservative and Libertarian economic theory. Capitalism DOES suck, in so much as the human condition sucks, and it is the best system amongst many more flawed ones. I up voted.

Capitalism with a well defined set of rules that are meant to encourage innovation and competition is a wonderful system. I think we could have less government that was more effective if we didn't try to fight all government all the time and instead embraced common sense rules.
