This must have first aired in the late 70's or early 80's. But doesn't Donahue sound exactly like the Dems/Socialist drum beat of today. The greedy rich, distribution of wealth, it's the same old tired garbage the dummies are spewing today. I never get tired of hearing the common sense voice of Milton Friedman. No doubt it all went in one ear and out the other for commie Phil.

I hear it all the time, from college professors to Hollywood actors, that capitalism = greed, and without capitalism there would be no greed. The entire assumption is false, however. Humans evolved as hunter-gatherers for the last couple hundred thousand years. If we did not instinctively keep what we have, we would not have survived. So you can’t eliminate what they call “greed” without fundamentally altering humans themselves. Besides, what is their solution? Taking away from some people and giving it to others. Theft on top of greed.

Donahue sits there all self righteous in his condemnation of “greed” while wearing a $1500 suit and flying on private jets eating $100 an ounce caviar. He is just your typical limousine liberal.

We no longer get to choose between socialism and capitalism.

We get to choose between various forms of crony-favoring welfare state 'capitalism'.

Socialism is just a stupid form of capitalism. It is capitalism where the only thing that is traded is power and prestige.

Regular capitalism deals in the highly fungible asset called money. This can be converted into power, prestige, wealth, cars, houses, travel, larger breasts, etc.

How much nicer is it for people to exchange cash that they can convert into whatever they personally prefer?

How stupid is it to create a system where the only thing that can be bought and sold is a higher rung in the pecking order?

Maybe you get an office with a slightly better view. Maybe your government job gives you a few more perks such as foreign travel. This may suit some people, but not the great variety of people that are served by a freer market.
