Wow. The generalization that is destroying America being spouted on Free Republic. I never thought I'd see the day.
To bash all true Capitalists for the actions of the few corrupt is as absurd as bashing all blacks for the actions of Mugabe or all whites for the actions of the KKK. You need to understand that the American businessman, bank president, manufacturing executive, and CEO are the primary reasons for the success of this nation. The wealthy should not be despised because they are wealthy. I never even mentioned the corrupt wealthy. You assumed (which is indicative of your economic stance) that since I was talking about the wealthy, I was talking about corrupt individuals. This is the way of the liberal and of the socialist. Ask yourself why America outproduces everybody? Is it solely because of the laborer? No, socialist countries have them too. It is because of the industrialist/entrepeneur (sp?).
