    Capitalism, at it's heart, is simply a free market in which individuals are free to trade their goods and services. The incentive of capitalism is to create the most value for the most people. You receive the most value back by creating the most value for others.

    Cool, and when that value is naturally accumulated by a smaller and smaller cadre of people who then exert enormous power over the market and thus or livelihoods it’s fantastic.
    How do they accumulate it? By going around and forcing everyone to give it to them? Or do they earn it? And why do they earn it?
    Christ, so if they “earned” (which is a completely subjective term) that level of financial and political domination over the rest of us via capital accumulation that makes it OK. Praise our benevolent feudal masters!

    A question leftards can never answer. How much money has Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos cost me? How much money have the green gaia religionists cost me? HardlySane is the perfect example of a wannabe cadre of people who want to control me. I have no interest in HardlySane. He has a great interest in me.


    You’re damn right. I’m gonna get the government to appropriate your internet connection so we don’t have to suffer through the incoherent ramblings of a wannabe right-wing blogger.

    APAG, this might be one of the most ignorant threads you’ve ever started. We have the courts that punish companies for doing bad shit. Look at the recent Monsanto RoundUp lawsuit. In your dream of socialism, there is no oversight. The people owning the factories are the same people that are also the rule maker and the judge aka: The Government. No system is perfect, but at least In the free market capitalism, competition helps even the playing field and some government oversight is needed to keep it that way, like breaking up monopolies.

    The only voices in America advocating breaking up monopolies are on the socialist left.

    Sounds like you’re for free speech until you’re against it. HardlyClothed is one of the most tolerant people I know. Everybody says so.
    I’m for egging fascist politicians during their speeches. Is MikeDamone still crying about that?

    Then you must really love Trump. But then he’s also a facist. It must really suck being you. Living a life of contradiction.

    Perfect example of a millennial. Not having any idea what he/she wants, but bitching for the entitled sake of it.

    The way to make lots of money is to help lots of people. And that holds true whether the rapacious capitalist intends to or not.
