Not revisionist TM7? How about where you say that this country
was not founded for the purpose of ensuring profits
. Well, you might have missed it, but the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution says "nor be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law;
nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation". Now, where you own private property, you have Capitalism. If I can own private property, then I can sell that property (or rent it or use it to create more property), and that
is the definition of Capitalism.
Or TM7, how about your assertion that
this country was founded on democratic principles to ensure the individual freedom and liberty from government AND other influences
. I would like you to point out to me that part of the Constitution which assures us freedom from "other influences". For that matter (and since I might have missed it), could you please point out to me where the term "fair" appears in the Constitution.
TM7, you seem to be operating under that all too common theory that pervades the left. That is, that economics is a "zero sum game". That for someone to make money or get ahead, that it must have been at the expense of someone else. You may be surprised to find out that profits can be generated with no evil taking place. Believe it or not, wealth can be
created and not just stolen. The nice thing about this country is that anyone can succeed. There are no elitist barriers nor caste system. If someone has the drive and ability, and yes the stomach for risk, they can succeed.
And BTW, I do not support illegal immigration, but I am in favor of controlled legal immigration.
