It is hard to make a case for it when you have a number approaching 1/3 of this country's population NOT working and on some sort of government entitlement or other.
Democrats have been working for over half a century to economically shackle as many people in this country to entitlements so they could control them. If you get over half everywhere, you have the entire country in your hands.
This ENTIRE government now is concentrated on a ONE WAY equalization plan that spans the gamut of social, judicial, and financial realms from the HAVES to the HAVE NOTS.
But safe to say, the other half that is NOT shackled will more and more likely end up getting fed-up to the point of backlashing. It is coming.
Even when capitalism does make a case for itself with an era of expanding affluence, the socialists will angrily lecture that not EVERYONE is capable of success. This triggers guilt even in some of the successful. How many times have you heard or said, “We’ve been fortunate” from those who worked themselves extremely hard to get to whatever level they have achieved? Besides guilting the successful, the *everyone not capable* meme allows those who haven’t achieved to feel less like failures.
So, it is now fairly easy to extract guilt payments from the successful and allow the less successful to feel entitled. Next, comes the institutionalization of both these states. Now, the less successful feel grateful to the institution for their *share* of someone’s labor, encouraging the State to take even more in their name. The capitalist successes just hope that each bite will be the last. No one seems to notice that the most fortunate of all are the ones doing the taking and the sharing. They seem to always get their cut, first.
Capitalism hasn’t just failed to make its own case, it has been so demonized that it can’t even be acknowledged in a positive manner. An ever-larger distributive class now depends on the redistribution for their own living. The recipients depend on that class. They will never be eliminated.

Yeah, agree. It’s my observation that people rarely have the foresight or moral courage to avoid disasters in advance. As with Greece, we seem to find it necessary to be in the throes of the downward spiral of the toilet before we accept reality. And, so we will have to experience this as well before we begin the climb back out of the sewer. And so it goes......
“It is hard to make a case for it when you have a number approaching 1/3 of this country’s population NOT working and on some sort of government entitlement or other.”.
And to make matters worse, the gubmint now wants to make more “takers” via amnesty. Stupid bastards, all of them.

It's also hard to make a case for anything hated by 90% of the media, whose mediots are actually trained forensic werewolves and apparatchiks of an underground Party whose goal is the destruction of Norman Rockwell's America -- the fairest, most open, most generous, most successful and successfully sharing society in the history of the human race.
We're talking about the Cain and Abel story on a civilizational level.
