So, left on our own, we capitalists aren't smart enough to do good.

But, the Government hires the most innovative, smartest, most productive and self-starting people in the country -- so they get to make the decisions?

I think not. These people have got it backwards, and the only reason they get to mouth off like this is because they control the msm airwaves. The goal of this country is not to provide equal outcomes. We are only created equally (except for the aborted) -- we are not pre-ordained to equal outcomes.

Who is Arianna referring to as the "founders of capitalism". As I see it, capitalism is simply the natural order of man since the beginning. Capitalism is what occurs without an imposed system. Each man meets his needs by trading what he has for what he doesn't.

Unlike any of the alternatives, nobody invented capitalism.  Take away government or even a currency and capitalism will continue as it has since the beginning.  Money and financial institutions merely make it more efficient. 

Liberal: remove all that's Right, and this is what's Left.

That crowd couldn't even spell capitalism, never mind knowing how it works.

Huffington clearly has no concept of capitalist ideas like the market value of good will or opportunity cost. 

This is not surprising coming from confirmed leftists.  Capitalism works on a variety of levels, but it requires an understanding of the underlying environment.  When lefties throw God out of their universe, they lose the ability to understand why capitalism is the best available economic system, as well as why socialism is doomed to failure.

Their support of statism is the proof that lefties do not believe that all men are created equal.  They believe that only the elites can bring peace, balance, equity, and prosperity to the world. As Orwell stated so well, they believe that "All are equal.  But some are more equal than others."

How many millions does Huffington have? She got most it by marrying and divorcing an oil capitalist. Now she runs a successful blog. She's got hers, the hell with everyone else. Also, I bet the semi-literate Smiley has done pretty well for himself. It's the same thing as the liberal elites from wealthy nations telling countries like Brazil and India not to use their resourses to lift their people out of crushing poverty. All so they can feel good about themselves and "save the planet". And they say they care about the poor? Spare me.

Government is like a pedophile.

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Regarding Tavis Smiley: What do expect from a race-baiting taxpayer parasite who needs copious amounts of our hard-earned money confiscated so he can have a job on a television station nobody watches?  And PBS is operating so inefficiently that they'll have to conjure up yet another Mo' Tenor trio so that they can have CDs to give away at pledge drives.

Regarding Arianna Huffington: Who needs capitalism when you can have forced acquisition?  Just move to the U.S., marry a rich man, turn him gay by your sheer repellence and snag most of his money in a divorce settlement.  It's just that easy.

Regarding John Legend: Who the hell is John Legend?

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

All those idiots made it to where they are because of the capitalist system.  From writing books and recording music that people bought!

Good God the irony by which these people live and fail to see is astonishing!!  I guess it just comes down to irrational guilt.  It's the assinine way of thinking of the left. 

Freedom has few friends.  These tyrants simply can't stand the chaos (and rewards) of freedom.

"A conservative believes in putting his money where his mouth is.  A liberal believes in putting your money where his mouth is." -- mbs6

In their muddle-minded world, there's X amount of wealth on the planet and a given person is wealthy, not because they created it or worked for it, but because they took it from someone else.  That's why there's poverty.  The "rich" people have simply taken more than their fair share. If they hadn't done that, the poor would have more and wouldn't be poor.

Blithering idiots.

All as our poor "Lost Generation of Recession Children", as Katie Couric puts it, sit there playing with their iPhones in front of giant flat-screen tvs.

Tell me again what kind of background Tavis and the other turds in Time's round table have in business and economics? 

Capitalism, for good or evil, has made the excesses of the left (Tavis Smiley) possible. Capitalists should have been more attentive where Tavis is concerned.

 This moron must be equating capitalism to the inner city black child, not one who was brought up in a healthly conservative environment.

There is even stronger evidence that PBS unchecked serves only the interests of an elitist minority.  But the capitalists have always picked up the tab for PBS, while the lefty network cares only for itself and its own needs.  I tend to pay more attention to people whose actions reflect their words.
