Nicely said. Expect the "Free Trade Uber Alles" crowd to come mindlessly goosestepping in to take their pre-programmed shots at you.

I'm with you, though.

Yep, I'm with him too.

I like making money, I like having money, I like spending and investing money.

I try to be VERY careful how I do ALL of those things.

Making money and producing goods can be a very beneficial thing to everybody if it is done honourably and decently.

HOWEVER:
Untrammeled capitalism is evil, period.

You MUST ask yourself if you are climbing over anyone's back to make good.

Unless there is someone here who thinks it is good that little kids work 16 hour days for a pittance in sweat-shops in SE Asia so that Walmart can sell cheap T-shirts?

There are people who would have that happen here, if they could get by with it.

Ebaneezer Scrooge is alive and well today.
