Ten years ago, I would have been alarmed at these posts...Today, you're all a bunch of laughing stocks, clinging to such a bankrupt ideology. Why? I don't understand and need to know why intelligent idividuals can hate capitalism, a proven recipe for prosperity for most of the nations that have embraced it.I issue you a challenge...try and convince me to give up capitalism.
I'm 37 years old, HS grad with some college. I've been employed (enslaved?) with a large air express company for 16 years. During this time, I have purchased two homes and through my 401k, investments in the stock market and shrewd timing as regards to my real estate purchases, my wife and I now have a net worth of over a quarter of a million dollars (in case this is confusing to you 5-year planners, net worth is asset value minus debt).
My retirement is not yet assured, but a college education for my children is. So far, so good.
The big test for you socialists: Tell me why I should forsake a system that rewards risk, hard work and perseverence for one that punishes individuals who succeed.
I can't wait for your replies.........
