Denver, COCapitalism is the best thing that has ever happened to any country in world history. It is responsible for creating America, the greatest country in the worlda country that produces more than any other. The individuals that drive that production are even more remarkable.
I consider myself lucky to even know a fraction of those individuals that drive Americathose that believe and choose to participate in the capitalist system. Americans that make this country great by exercising their God given right to firmly grasp the concepts of capitalism.

When talking about capitalism and other economic systems, it should be pointed out that capitalism is the only *natural* economic system, all others, despite various arguments, are contrivances, which, with their failure, require a return to the natural way of economics.
Good point.
I wish it werern’t so long. I think the point could’ve been made with less verbiage. I got the point a quarter of the way thru, but it was worth it to read the conclusion. Good article.
Ping to a fine article about and by The Shrew.
There are many, none of which are on my ping list, that wouldn’t get it a quarter of the way through. Besides, you get to enjoy the journey through Tim’s life as much as I did.
Thank you for reading. I do appreciate it.
Thanks for pinging the list, IT. Tim and I appreciate it.
It was a pleasure. Reminded me of how people were back in the day. There aren’t many people of this work ethic and focus on the customer like Tim anymore. Except my husband who is so much like Tim. Rags to riches (well not riches yet, but we’re hoping that our country’s capitalistic roots will survive til we get there).
Of course i hope that not only will capitalism survive but thrive and that the socialist path this country is on will come to an abrupt end and we begin to move back toward the old “good hard work will get you where you want to be” philosophy.
I hope so as well.
