Every system has a currency.
Capitalism rewards people willing to spend time and resources on developing merit...hard work and self-reliance.
Progressivism (and to a greater extent, communistic type systems) rewards people willing to spend time and resources on knowing which government form to fill out and which line to get into.
The progressive approach can actually be lucrative to a degree, but as far as I am concerned, it is soul crushing, and it ultimately drags the entire system down the drain. Capitalism, on the other hand, motivates individual merit and therefore healthy pride and happiness, and it ultimately builds the entire system up (a rising sea raises all boats).
The more the Left wins, the less time we have before the next financial collapse.
Our system as it exists today is based on political capital, much of which is unearned.
Who makes more money, union bosses or union workers?
Who makes more money, small business owners or politicians?
And who makes more money, NGO founders and administrators or the people they are supposed to be helping?
Yes. We are well on our way down the drain.
Look at our tax system: Only the rich can truly navigate it properly, because they can hire people who specialize in gaming the system. That is anti-merit, and therefore progressive, not capitalistic.
Yes, borrowing against assets is a primary method for individuals of means to avoid tax.
The corporations play other games to avoid taxation.
But, poor people don't pay federal income taxes either and I'm fine with that. But the burden is put on the middle.
