flourish as individuals making our own choices in our attempt to improve ourselves and maximize our potential. Things do go wrong and get frustrating with the free market system but the alternative of socialism limits what we can accomplish as human beings. The very best case during socialism would give us a potential equivalent to a B-, leaving us frustrated and completely unfulfilled. The only people that would survive socialism would be those that socialism targets the most. Ironic and unfair for those who seek to improve.
The best thing about our system is that it gives us the most choice in how potentially successful we could be. Any other system falls way short of this.
