Happiness. Capitalists think the more money you have the more happy you will be. This has been prooven to be WRONG. US is the 9th happiest country in the world by capita. Canada is #3, austria is #2 and finland is #1. Now lets see what all thease nations have in commen.
Canada: A lot of socialism compared to the US
USA: almost no socialism.
Finland: Very socialist
Austria: A bit less hten finland.
Now im not saying that capitalism is bad by any matter, but I am saying PURE capitalism is bad.
Unless your a selfish pig like most Americans. |

| America is the happiest country because they have the most money. Capitalism is better than Monarchy. Poor people (obviously not from America) can't possibly be happy. |

Happiness. Capitalists think the more money you have the more happy you will be.

That is not at all what capitalism is.
Man is inherently greedy. Get over it. |

Capitalism =/= Just money
It is the person's ability to work hard and make a good earning out of it. It allows people to follow their dreams, fight obstacles, and make sure the days of their children are better than their own. |

You actually think Americans are selfish?
Get Out.
Of all things, we are the least selfish people. Most of the millionaires in the US have made foundations and charities.
What is selfish is when GOVERNMENT takes your money without your consent. You might call this taxation, but in reality it is stealing. Sure some taxation is good if its going to promote the building of roads, or the military/police force, so people can get to the market safely. When the government takes your money to make a welfare state, that is when it becomes tyranny.
So in reality, Socialism = Selfishness/stereotypical Greed |

The problem with it is that the Government choses to put sanctions on specific countries.
Capitalism in America would thrive much better if we opened trade with Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and others.
It wouldn't just be better for America, but those other nations too. |

Better if you consider agregate welfare.
The problem with free trade lies with all the unfortunate souls who are farthest from a region's comparative advantage.
Supply has a very low elasticity. |

Do you believe everything your backwards Brit parents tell you?
Because you'll just live your life being an angry, opinionated brat who bashes a country that overtook his own.
Get out. |
