CAPITALISM in the USA

[willtill]

It comes down to this:
It used to be that you were told never to talk to strangers and never get into a stranger's car. Now, you are supposed to call a stranger and get in their car. (Uber)

Socialism used to be the boogie man - think McCarthy hearings. Now, millennials are demanding socialism.

Everything is ass-backwards in this country nowadays.

You can bitch about everything in the state of this country...

...but it does come down to this:

Adapt and overcome. On a grand scale it is not going to change.

Sorry if I pissed in some of your Wheaties... but it is what it is.

Lol, did you just reflect on McCarthyism as the good ol' days?

Is Capitalism a bad thing in this country anymore?
Is it wrong to take your hard earned proceeds and make more through investments?
Is it wrong to take your hard earned proceeds and invest into a new business with hopes to generate more income?
Is it wrong to take your hard earned proceeds and donate them to others or a cause that you believe in?
Is it wrong to take your hard earned proceeds and keep them for your retirement?
Is it wrong to take your hard earned proceeds from a existing business and invest into more marketing to increase the business and profits even more so?
Is it wrong to take your hard earned proceeds and splurge a little on yourself?
Why do some have issues with capitalists, yet they indirectly benefit from similar capitalists?
Is there a "magical" number that you feel is enough earnings for each individual in this country, IE a "natural threshold" and any earnings above such threshold should be heavily penalized?
Should the Government penalize capitalists for succeeding, growing business, employing more people and making a profit?
Is there anything wrong with having a goal of Peace, Harmony and earning a few dollars along the way through investments?
Money is not everything however does it not make life easier for those that are recipients of generosity from Capitalists?
Just wondering if Capitalism is no longer respected.

Is it wrong to kill off a redundant product line that you are losing money on?

Evidently to some...
