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.
