Capitalism (Webster's Unabridged Dictionary):

"An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market."

 

 

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."  

   - Winston Churchill

 

 

"The poor object to being governed badly, while the rich object to being governed at all"

   - G. K. Chesterton

 

 

Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

   - The Cree People
