Capitalism
is the best way to run the economy. We need to have light control in the
economy so businesses don’t run the lives of all the employees but they need to
be able to grow and prosper. Social Darwinism needs to take its course and the
weak will fall and the strong will dominate. I like that we have some socialist
ideas like schools, libraries, fire fighters, and postal service. We also have
all of these nice laws that make employers pay minimum wage, paid time off,
overtime, and all of the environmental laws. I absolutely hate that we break up
monopolies, if you take the time to build up your economic empire congress
should not break it up. Microsoft was broken up years ago because it was a
monopoly. The way it became a monopoly is by being so much better and more
affordable than all the other companies. But all of the other companies cried
and through a fit, saying we now don’t make money and we are going to have to
fire all our employees and it is all Microsoft’s fault. It is not and the
government needs to stay out of it. They also need to stop all of these bail
outs, the company is failing for a reason and the government finds it necessary
to save them so people can be employed. If they do nothing they will join the
other company and be part of a successful business.
Capitalism
allows me as an individual to go out and start my own business and make all the
money I want. If we did not have capitalism I would be unable to do this. Happy
employees are productive employees if we were socialist and you did not get a
say in what you will be when you grow up you may get a job you hate and you
will not be happy with it and therefore be unmotivated and unhappy. But we have
a capitalistic society where for the most part I can choose what I want to be
when I grow up. There will be obstacles but by overcoming the obstacles I will
become stronger and build character. The character I need to run my business
and become wealthy. I had to EARN my
wealth.
Communism
is the worst it makes it so no matter what you do, you will be paid equally.
You work at McDonalds get paid like a doctor, you work as a garbage man get
paid like a doctor, you work as a doctor get paid like a Wal-Mart employee.
This means no matter what you do you will not make any more money so why should
I try if I just get the same as anyone else why should I study had and get a
good job when I can just fill the shelves at Target and make the same as the manager.
Heck if we did not have a capitalistic society we would probably not have any
of these great retailors. It would all be Gov-Mart and McGovement, that is what
you would eat and that is where you would by stuff you would not have a choice
because the government would not set up two businesses to compete ageist each
other. Competition move businesses forward, businesses drive the economy
forward, the economy drive capitalism forward proving that it is the very best
economic system we have.
