June 27, 2017 | ECONOMY | O.K. We live in a capitalist country. I get that. As a matter of fact, much to the chagrin of some of my more leftist friends, I’m glad we do. I’ve never had any desire to be a monk; never took a vow of poverty. I like owning my own home, and a car and a couple of good suits. I really enjoyed my last vacation, and I like going out to dinner and a movie too. Not only that, but I think there is something to be said for the link between capitalism and initiative. I admit it. I’m a product of my culture and my upbringing. “Work hard and get ahead,” was drummed into my skull pretty early in life, and if I were to be honest, that formula has served me, if not perfectly, at least pretty well over the years. And, I don’t think I’m alone. I think millions of people have been lifted out of poverty over the years by virtue of the fact that we live in a capitalist country. So, having gotten all that out of the way, I still have a question… laborpress.org
