Answer 1

I hear Cuba is lovely this time of year.

Answer 2

Sigh, I know it will do no good, but I'll try to enlighten you.
All of those things existed far before capitalism was ever invented. They are part of the human condition, as recorded throughout history and clearly visible today. They exist in every economic system (capitalism, socialism, communism, feudalism, etc.).

You can not name one system that has ever existed without those things, so why pick on capitalism? Every other system is just as bad because humans are involved.

If you can get past your blind, irrational hatred, you will discover that capitalism is the best system available. It is not perfect, but it is better than anything else. History proves it without a doubt if you pick up a history book.

The truth will set you free, but only if you have the courage to admit you are wrong, and accept the truth.

Answer 3

They have tried to kill capitalism time and time again only to end up imposing misery and hopelessness on all except the leaders of the revolution of course.

Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
Milton Friedman

Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.
Winston Churchill

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill

I hear trips to Venezuela are cheap.

Why not go there and give us a report in about a year, then see how thankful you are when you come home to a Starbucks on every corner?
