Capitalism is a "natural" economic system meaning it is drawn from logical natural thoughts - "I work hard. I make money. I get to keep the fruits of my labor. I live well. I have capital to invest and risk. I make more money. I live even better. I pass my wealth down to my heirs."
It all starts with my labor.
Communism, socialism, the American left are all about taking one man's labor, the result of that labor, and redistributing it to folks whose main identifying characteristic is they do not work, but they want the same outcome as the hard worker.
Capitalism creates a mountain top of upward mobility and natural incentive - we used to call this the American Dream - whilst the other redistributive system creates a low plateau with no upward mobility.
The harnessing of the US gov't for redistribution is much like its current weaponization - using the gov't to punish accomplishment and to "take care of" the special interests and discriminatory voting blocs of the Dems to retain power.
Don't for a second think that the Biden is a thoughtful immigration bleeding heart. He is importing illegally future Dem voters.
America is 13.4% black with a huge white guilt overhang from the hideous practice of slavery. Given the passage of time and the success of black America, it is questionable if another such program is justified - not saying it isn't, but we need to have that debate absent the white guilt and the presumption of needing or requiring assistance.
I cannot find a single instance wherein Communism or socialism or the policies of the Dems have equaled or surpassed the fruits of labor - capitalism.
Brilliant comment. When you work, ask yourself: How much value am I creating combined with the amount of risk I am taking? Also ask, How many people in the world could do what I do? The more risk you take, and the less the population of people that can do it, combined with the amount of value you create determines how much money you receive.
The problem with the current race based approach to the world is that it makes it acceptable and even preferable to judge people by the color of their skin. All of the Marxist intersectionality will eventually boil away leaving our culture with the basic idea that skin color is predictive of ability and performance. And then it will be noticed that people with black skin commit a lot of crime and require a lot of preferential treatment from the government -- and most others do not. Without the Marxist baloney that goes along with the current approach there will be a return to the racism of the 1950s when even liberal democrats believed in equal rights, but didn't think black people could cut it in the broader world. I think it will take about one generation to make the turn. It's very sad and very unfair, but the current approach to white supremacy is also unfair, and stupid.

No, they don't really believe in Equality:

great post and worth the click!
I learned most of my calculus from a 9.5 out of 10 knock out Romanian woman.
Laced skirt, Louboutin everyday.
She was a simple woman and an easy affair.
At the same time, any student can use their Pell Grants aka free money and use an FHA loan and buy a house with their girlfriend in college.
If I’m not mistaken I believe Walmart also offers to pay college tuition if you’re a student.
The USDA offers great deals on loans:

I learned of this program from Walmart & the USDA program from a BLACK guy I work with.
It makes you wonder what it is that disillusions so many.
