Two words. Free will. Without it there is no such thing as love, and no such thing as charity. Liberals don't like the concept of charity, because this act bestows honor on the person giving. It is my personal view that God gave us free will because God wanted us to be capable of giving love to each other and God by our own choice as free individuals. No other system of economics preserves the rights of the individual as does capitalism. In it we can choose how hard to work, where to work, and what we are willing to give for what we receive. It's not always fair, but it allows us to be free individuals like no other system. Liberalism/socialism/communism do not respect self determinism, and that is truly immoral.

Capitalism, and economic freedom is the highest form of morality, because it allows the individual to choose to do what is good.

The fact that some individuals choose to do what is not good, should not be an indictment on capitalism, but rather on the individual's themselves.
