Take a Memo:
The liberal left will tell you that it's dangerous and horrid to have "unfettered" capitalism. Every unspeakable capitalist evil will engulf the people like the Black Death, should man ever allow capitalism to be unbridled. Or, that's what they say. It's easy sometimes for a conservative to simply concede that we need some level of government constraint on capitalism for the good of man. I believe it is a mistake to ever concede anything to a liberal.
Now let's get some things straight about capitalism. Capitalists are not inherently greedy. This is a myth the left promotes, but it's simply not the truth of the matter. A capitalist is a person who is capitalizing on a need with a product or service to fill that need to the satisfaction of himself and the customer. A mutual exchange is made between two agreeable parties and capitalism has happened. The capitalist wants to make a profit, he wants to make as much profit as he can and continue to do so, that is how capitalists measure their success.
With capitalists, there are various varieties, some are less desirable than the others, these are exploiter capitalists. They seek to exploit circumstances to make higher than average profits even if it's only temporary. Or they may exploit illegal immigration to make greater profits. Or they may even break anti-trust laws. So capitalists have their bad apples. There are types of capitalism that are exploitive and wrong, and we should indeed have laws in place to ensure those type of capitalists are weeded out and punished.
For the most part, the average capitalist is simply not interested in exploitation. Remember, he is capitalizing on a need and filling it to the satisfaction of himself and his customer. He wants his customer to be satisfied so they tell their friends, come to do business again, help him to grow as capitalist. The liberal considers all capitalism exploitation. Hence, the greedy capitalist meme.
Greed has no place in a capitalist operation. The emphasis is on profit. Liberals will argue since the emphasis is on profit there is certainly greed. However, this fails to acknowledge how capitalism works. Again, the capitalist is interested in a fair mutual exchange to the satisfaction of himself and his customer. He makes a profit, as much as possible, but the customer is satisfied as well. If his customer leaves the transaction feeling as if they didn't get a fair deal, it opens the door to other prospective capitalists who compete for the business. A greedy capitalist soon finds his customers being served by a less greedy capitalist.
We've never known a time when America had unfettered and unbridled capitalism. Even in the Constitution and founding of the nation, some authority has prevailed over capitalism. Liberals will point to the railroads and early business tycoons, conjuring up the image of the "robber baron" we so often hear about. Curiously, when DuPont, Carnegie, Morgan, Vanderbilt, etc. were rapidly advancing America to international greatness which lead to superpower status, they weren't called "robber barons." It's a 'romantic' term coined by liberals in the aftermath of the Great Depression.
Speaking of the Great Depression and capitalism, it not only ended the depression, but won WWII. Liberals take credit by propping up FDR and the New Deal, but the statistics show the New Deal policies were not really helping and we remained economically stagnant. During WWII, our entire capitalist system was turned like a fire hose onto the war effort. The result was something no other enemy could match. We simply out-produced all enemies and allies combined for a few years, and this crushed the Germans and Japanese. When the war was over, the invigorated capitalist system was poised to take us into a new era and the economy exploded.
Our free market capitalist system, along with our Constitution and free enterprise, combined with American spirit and ingenuity, has produced more millionaires and billionaires than any system ever devised by man. Nothing even runs a close second. It is unquestionably the best possible system for free people to thrive and prosper. So why must we endure this almost constant anti-capitalist claptrap from the liberal left?
It's because of their socialist agenda. You see, capitalism has to be destroyed for socialism to replace it. This comes from some of their heroes like Chairman Mao. This is why you constantly hear them breathlessly rant about "big business" and "multinational corporations" ...the wealthiest 1%... It's all about the ideology. Destroy capitalism, ring in Socialism. ~Che Guevara. ~Hugo Chavez. ~Fidel Castro.
