AOC - Capitalism is an ‘Irredeemable’ System

[Beastdog]

To refresh memories from previous post, Dems are about:

1. Greed
2. Envy
3. Killing black babies.

We can parse the terms, but most of us get training and get a job and go to work because we need the paycheck.  Some of us like our jobs, at least at times, but few of us would go if they didn't pay us.

If I didn't get paid to post here, do you think I would waste my time doing it?

Working and investing to create a business is not greed.  There are obviously greedy people who do those things but when most people start a business it has nothing to do with greed.  Greed is defined as an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.  That is not the source of the power of capitalism.  Its just not and no one should be taught that because it plays right into the hands of the socialists.  Socialism is real greed because it takes what someone else has earned.

I have very little hope for the future of this nation. And to think some want 16 year olds voting.

Nations rise and fall. There is a catchy phrase about how bad times make good men, etc. We're enjoying good times, and many don't recognize that as they dwell on the Orange President or how bad something is they usually brought on themselves (student loans). Someone else should pay.

I guess the worst thing that happened to us was our system was too successful and people became lazy, entitled and spoiled.  Plus our education system failed to teach how wealth is created but instead claimed all were equal.  Then we allowed our country to be flooded with people like AOC.  Now they want to redistribute the wealth evenly without realizing that by doing so they will kill the incentives that created the wealth.

Very well said!

Greed Propels everything in business.  Itâ€s a fact.  No one creates apple corp or IBM or Google or anything unless they see the chance at wealth.  Stop the silliness.  This greed led to unions due to entrepreneurs who only cared about themselves.   Then unions leaders due to greed wanted to cheat members acting like they cared about workers.   Greed is at the heart of business

AOC secretly is a Trump plant. He funded her campaign and is telling her what to say.

I have to say that teaching capitalism as greed instead of freedom is why so many young people are rejecting it in favor of socialism which they perceive, wrongly of course, as kind and generous.

I absolutely agree with you.

Yep.  I'll second the agreement.
