Capitalism and development are also the solution to “climate change”. Go criticize China and India. Leave the US alone: we aren’t the problem.
Wow, when you can convince Bono that socialism is bad, that is sayin something.
Better late than never I guess.
“Show me a young man who is not a liberal, and I’ll show you a man without a heart. Show me an old man who IS a liberal, and I’ll show you a man without a brain.”
Welcome to the party Bono, though a bit late.
This has just dawned on him? Okay, so he’s slow. Better late than never.
A main reason I am a capitalist. I love people and want them to thrive.
Wow, he came out of his liberal coma, congrats Bono, better late than never, now go spread the word.
His emotion and acute human sensitivity may make him a very popular artist, but those same traits also makes him a dumb-ass and shyte economist.
I believe he’s actually felt that way on the subject of gettin people out of poverty for quite a long time at this stage. He’s right at least about the capitalism, but he’s got other problems. (When U2 gratuitously endorsed the pro-abortion referendum in Ireland, they lost yours truly and I think quite a few others.)
So... Bono met the Tax Man... should’ve listened to the Beatles before spewing lies for decades.
can we toss the leftist pejorative capitalism?
it is free enterprise
individual freedom creates the successful affluent society
i do not consider business people heroes
successful yes
I don’t think this only recently dawned on him...I think instead that this is the first time he felt he could actually SAY IT out loud publicly....
Which gives me much greater confidence in the future.
Not completely surprising. For what it is worth, In past years Bono has praised GWB with his HIV/AIDS efforts in Africa. He also claims to have developed a close relationship.
He’s not for capitalism. He’s for globalism which embraces fascism.
Duh! And I already knew this in high school when they were just becoming megastars. I’ve never changed. What a dweeb!
It may be to late to do anyone any good.
Bono isn’t dumb, he was temporarily misguided. The reality now that the socialists are in power are too obvious to miss.
Good for him for having the guts to say so.
The capitalist experiment in China, despite all the criticism that can be made, succeeded in feeding their rural poor which communism had failed to do.
