Don’t Blame Capitalism

Many people are under the impression that “capitalism” is somehow to blame for the financial mess we are in and that what we need is more regulation and government control.  Without putting too fine a point on it, those people are flat out wrong and coming to that conclusion only demonstrates their complete lack of understanding regarding these things.

First, and easiest, is the fact that we are not truly a free-market, capitalist society.  We keep telling ourselves we are, but we’re not.

Second, government control and regulation is primarily what got us into this mess to begin with.

Third, just go read this great article by Peter Schiff.

If you want to learn more about true liberty, freedom, prosperity and more, go read Ron Paul’s, The Revolution.  I can’t think of a more important book to read right now.  It is fundamental reading for anyone wanting to participate in this discussion, regardless of what side they are on.  Get it at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or a store near you.
