Capitalism offers equality

Capitalism offers equality. It is not equality of results as you would wish, but equality of opportunity. Every one has the same shot. The people at the top are those who are most willing to scramble to get there. That is as fair as it gets. Then you people come along and see the people on the bottom (few as they are) and say "let's make everybody miserable." Sounds like a plan to me.

As for that crack about democracy, why is it that the USA is the richest most powerful nation in the world? Democracy seems to be working fine for us. It's better that we are represented by people who make a career out of politics, because people (you) on a whole are generally quite stupid. I really wouldn't want you to be someone who decides how much money is spent on social(ist) programs like Welfare. We'd all be in the poor house. The best of us making decisions for the rest of us.

P.S. Can we please stop with the name calling. I didn't start it and it's quite immature, don't you think?
