Capitalism is freedom in business

If these companies make it unaffordable like they have in auto, homes, health, university, and everything else then people are going to say, “let’s give socialism a try” because what do they have to lose? I think companies are going to have to be careful that they don’t out price themselves for most Americans. Even going to the grocery store is incredibly expensive. Something has to give and if it’s not capitalism then something will come in to replace it and we may not like it. If everything is from and our taxes are 50 percent or we have 25 percent taxes but can’t afford anything....what are people going to pick???? Wake up because you are sleeping.

You are utterly and completely wrong. Groceries are expensive? You are falling for the exact nonsense espoused in this article. When I compare what food items are required to sustain a life in good health to prices found in a grocery I see cheap cheap cheap for even the less wealthy.

When I look at what is needed to own and drive a car that meets the basic requirement of safe and reliable transportation I again see cheap.

Socialism is a promise to make us equal even if that means equally miserable. It exploits man’s natural inclinations towards envy and greed. In this system relative differences are all that matter. It is not enough to have food enough to keep you healthy but you should have prime rib. A basic cheap used car is not good enough so you should have a fine car. If not it is unfair. Capitalism has indeed provided goods across all spectrums of affordability. The fact that people are unsatisfied with their choices and desire not what they need but what someone else has is a moral and spiritual failure that no mere corporation can address.
