Well, Pope, were it not for capitalism, how would you feed the poor?
By the way I think I read somewhere that conservatives are far more charitable than liberals. Please correct me if I’m wrong I can’t remember where I read it.
That is correct.
However, the view is (as I have been explained) a great power need to forcibly take the wealth from one group to give to another less advantaged one, because there is not enough charity to fill the need.
So the goal is to be on the board that gets to decide who pays and who receives, and what cut to take.
