On the American Capitalist- Redefining the heartless exploiter

Indeed, the new American Capitalist is a unifier of classes. They work to improve the quality of life for the average American, while helping themselves in the process. It is quite the opposite of the selfish pursuit of wealth that the Socialists ridicule. Rather, it is empowering yourself first, then helping those around you empower themselves.

The new age Capitalist finds mutual ground in which the parties on either ends of the deal both benefit, equally. Instead of hoarding their money, they literally give it away. Bill Gates recently donated $5 billion dollars to stop the spread of Malaria. Warren Buffett just gave away $37 billion to charity. When's the last time you've heard about Castro giving away a couple of his millions to support a foreign country?

The Second Enlightenment is upon us, and its all thanks to those greedy little selfish bastards known as the Capitalists.

The socialist are both jealous and stupid. They apparently see money as being in one big pile and the more someone has the less is left for everyone else. As if their bosses came in one day and said, "Gary we've got to cut your pay. Bill Gates took all of the money."
