George Bernard Shaw once said: “Capitalism has destroyed our
belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force.”
When liberals make the argument that capitalism is the cause of all
of our problems, they are either speaking out of abject ignorance
or being totally disingenuous to protect their own political interests.
We have not had true free-market capitalism in this country on any
wide scale. Where we have had economic successes in this nation’s
history, it has been those times when people have done something
outside of the government’s involvement. Every single time the federal
government has been involved, it has created chaos, waste, and
corruption. The historical record is overwhelmingly one of gross
incompetence.
