Excellent! Anyone that can add “no vaccines or pesticides” is top tier health focus and deserves more business

Not worth it. Give me the Wild West. Give me freedom.

Third time in a month I’ve seen somebody state something about Sowell sounding like the guy is no longer with us. I hope he’s isn’t having the same experience.

To clarify… you want me to provide examples of charitable people or entities whose resources were acquired through capitalism in order to prove it is possible? Also, I’m not sure what you mean by “waiting for a time period” of true capitalism.

Mom: “Sure Honey that’s great if you want to use the car!” Teenager: “Well, Mom said it would be good if I used the car to go anywhere and do anything. So it’s her fault I am in jail for robbery in Vegas.” :) Of course not any ends by any means.

No. Oversimplifying or misrepresenting my specific statement, or generalizing it into an extreme or distorted version (suggesting “anything goes” or implying it condones something bad) to make it easier to attack would be a strawman fallacy My statement means that specifically the pursuit of generosity justifies the means of free and fair markets to fund that generosity. …specifically. Although free fair market capitalism is “justified” by many of it’s inherent benefits.

Pretty simple really. “Serving“ money as someone “serves” their God is its own end purpose. It is worship as though the money is your God and the most important thing. In contrast “pursuing” money can have many other purposes including being generous to others and helping the poor and needy. Beinf “selfish” is not the same as tending to your own “self-interests” or personal needs. Same reason you have to spend time becoming healthy in order to serve others well, or put your oxygen mask on first to breathe in order to help many others breathe. It scales well too. The more fit you are and the better you can breathe the larger the masses you can help. So the purposes of pursuing money for generosity align well with the purpose of capitalism—to provide mutual benefit and ongoing increase to all through simple free fair trade, and fostering increased freedom, agency, responsibility and mutual respect (and love :)).

Is true free market capitalism good? Yes. Can bad things happen in the process of capitalisms activities? Yes. Just like accidents can happen on the way to the grocery store. The problem is people have a hard time understanding a system well enough to identify when actions stray outside that system and it becomes something else. This causes them to become confused about the definition of that system. To conflate things that aren’t part of the intended system, as though they are inherent parts of that system. If you’re claiming to be for fair and open trade with others, but then behind closed doors doing deals with corrupt politicians or whatever, then you are not behaving as a capitalist. But as one of those other things. It’s easy to confuse societies if you can confuse definitions and language. Hence my reply.

Your reason for choosing this could be several. I can assume but shouldn’t. Tell me how you think it supports your claim/s and I’ll respond.

If you want to be correct call them corporatists, monopolists, crony-capitalists, plunderers, interventionists, or rent-seekers. They are not capitalists. That’s just the one-sided distortion modern socialist college teaches. Capitalists believe in actual free and fair trade.
