I believe the things I believe because they have worked in my life. Although I know there are going to be shades of gray in life, I see things mainly as black or white, right or wrong, etc. Example…you cannot be partly pregnant. So, now you kind of know how I think.
Socialism goes against every thing that makes mankind…mankind. Socialism can only exist where mediocrity is the goal. Socialism seeks to “level the playing field”, toward this end it shaves off the peaks (human excellence) to fill in the valleys (human complacency). As a result, the end is malt-o-meal. I mean it’s food but not really. No one excels and no one fails. One cannot succeed with out failing first. The pursuit of perfection, while futile, nonetheless leads us towards excellence.
Capitalism allows people to succeed…if the government of a given nation will allow it.
