One of the reasons why free market capitalism is superior to socialistic government's such as those practiced in the USSR, China and Hitler's Germany is that even those who are not geniuses, who are underachievers have the ability to achieve success and prosper greatly! As long as the government stands out of the way, even a poor, uneducated, immature lad on the cusp of adulthood can manage success and achieve great things!
Many of our greatest achievers in business, science, art, technology, cinema, music, religion, humanitarianism, medicine, even politics have been the sort of people we've been conditioned by government run education, government regulated media and government subsidized pop culture to view as undesirables, have nots and underachieving worthless failures unworthy of any mercy or any help at all!!
These are the kinds of people we've been taught should be locked up in prison or institutions or who should live in public housing working at WalMart or McDonalds!! Some of them have...
Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds was a high school drop out who lied about his age to fight in the First World War and upon returning became a successful salesman for the McDonald's brothers franchising their business in southern California! This could not be done in today's government and today's economy that has eschewed free markets! It became the launch pad for the most succesful fast food business in the world!
James Cash Penney was a failed businessman who time and time again failed at every creative enterprise he started. In the 19th century under so called "Victorian principals" such a person was looked down upon and stigmatized but Penney did all he could, tried again and again and succeeded in creating one of the world's largest department store chains, JCPenney.
Even the founder of one of the most successful Department store chains, Rowland Hussey Macy faced failure time and time again. Today they would remain failures because of the credit system and information sharing by our government and they would be stigmatized by their peers and society so they couldn't start over. But back then when our nation was young and free of socialism it was possible.
Lets also not forget the one the stumped them all, Sam Walton... High school dropout, underachiever, failure, founder of the most successful of all department stores, Wal-Mart!
Bill gates and Steve Jobs of Apple and Microsoft fame are also underachievers! Gates had a criminal history and Jobs was viewed by those in authority as slackers. Today in our liberal country which seeks to emulate the Chinese and other socialist countries they could never have made it. That's exactly the way it should be to those who do not want upstart young competitors and who want America to remain vassals to Red China.
Capitalism allows for the lowest common denominator to rise above his or her station and perform great things as business enterprinuers and innovators. America to this day has the highest level of patents for new inventions and new businesses while China cannot even keep up.
As mentioned in an earlier referenced article, China despite what the traitors, liberals, cronies and others say is not a standard we should be following. In fact China is a standard we should be using to avoid and NOT FOLLOW!
China's education system and economy is based on a one chance, one hit system that considers failure to be so abhorant that once you've failed at one thing you've failed at everything. Once a failure, always a failure. You've lost face you are doomed to be a failure forever. Suicides in Asia are the highest in the world
The education system in China is strict, rigged, oppressive and unforgiving. Only 30% of primary education grads have the ability to enter high school. Testing to enter High school and university are based on one hit one shot high stakes no failure testing. Fail one test and you will never be able to get the education certificate you need to enter jobs with high wages.
Do we really want to adopt that mindset in our nation? Founded by the prince of peace who says we should forgive so we too should be forgiven? Do we want to subjugate our children to an education system run by bureucrats who don't really give a crap about our children and beat them up only to fail them forever and ever if they get one thing wrong?!
Unfortunately, a growing number of Americans, especially those in the government and in our business class think so. Either they are woefully ignorant about how the world works or they are traitors who want to sabotage our economy and our nation. The vast majority of these Chinaphiles are made up of the later. People who covet our property and our children and who want to stop competitors from rising up from the lower classes as they and their fathers have. They want to pull up the economy ladder and keep the poor enslaved and down. This is how socialism works.
The very fact that capitalism allows infinite chances for success vs China's one hit one miss system is proof that a free market capitalism free of government meddling and a free society that allows privacy, maximum liberty and freedom is far, far superior to China's communist system. And for that matter every other communist system or socialist system that does or ever has existed...
SCORE ANOTHER ONE FOR WESTERN CIV AND THE FREE MARKET OVER LIBERALISM AND RED CHINA!
even those who are not geniuses, who are underachievers have the ability to achieve success and prosper greatly! As long as the government stands out of the way, even a poor, uneducated,......Just look at Edison, Grant, Ford, et al. They didn’t make successes of the first, second third or even further attempts. With the governement in charge, they would have accepted the grants and said “Why try? I’ve got mine.”
Edison was kicked out of school and his mom told that he was *addle brained*.
She homeschooled him.

Many educators at the higher level have no idea what capitalism is due to their sheltering in the ivory tower and limited knowledge of what really goes on outside the hallowed halls of academia. These are the people that the career politicians bring in to administer our system of government.
The problem with our country is for generations, people who left university and went right into government ran things into the ground because they did not understand what free markets were or what human achievement is. They only understand something that came out of a textbook, written by someone who came from the same system as they did. So the failure manifests itself.
This election was the tipping point for both government and the ivory tower media types. The people wanted a leader who knows how to be successful, fail and come back and be successful again. They didn’t want someone who only knew how to loot the treasury and use the government as a weapon against the people.
And they will NEVER understand why they lost.
And they will NEVER understand why they lost.
