Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth. Communism is equal redistribution of poverty. If you want people to rise, achieve, and innovate, there must be a prize at the end of the tunnel. Those who strive in this life, should get what they earn, not give it to a man who didn't try. Capitalism has made this country what it is. Seeing a person receive something they've earned makes you want to try. Pretty simple and timeless principle. If you take that away, there is no motive to try, to succeed. No growth will come. Survival of the fittest is necessary in society. There will always be poor, there will always be people who don't try. This entitlement era must stop now. Why are sports or all competition at that matter so interesting to watch? Because there is a winner, there is an achievement made! Can you imagine watching Jeopardy, and afterwards Alex Trebeck says, well Dave you would've won, but I'm gonna give you all the same amount of money? Or after a football game. Well the Packers dominated again, but we'll give everyone a championship. It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make anyone better. The same with Communism. Ask the North Korean folks, Russia, China. Do we really want to model after that? It's so ironic that Marx says that the U.S. Capitalist system was made and prospers at the expense of the rest of the world when his ideal has not prospered at the expense of the rest of the world, and it's very own people.
