Classic Chinese scholar Qian Mu, in characterizing US capitalism, said Western capitalism centers on two dominant urges: the urge to make others poor; and the urge to kill others.

There is only one form of capitalism.

Capitalism seeks to provide a necessary product or service where none exist, at a value greater than the cost to provide it.

Capitalism is a facet of freedom & liberty.

Where capitalism breaks down, like any other market ideology, is when immoral people attempt to achieve continued power (money) by exploiting people and circumstances.

Morality must self-restrain any business person.

And just where is that being taught?


America is beginning to look like the space aliens in "The War Of The Worlds" as they begin dying off from bacteria.


In this case we are dying off from a lack of intestinal fortitude, and common sense.

He’s been looking in the mirror so long he can’t recognize reality.
