That is the most colossal pantload I have ever seen.

Capitalist -- Def'n: Trained and state-sanctioned con artists, whose goal is the transfer of wealth from others to himself, to profit line his wallet at the expense of others. Money is like energy, it cannot be created or destroyed.

Of course wealth can be created. It's created every time the value of something is improved by labor, skill, and intelligence.

A multi-billion dollar corporation turning crude oil into gasoline creates wealth. So does a street vendor who turns old glass jars into decorated flower vases. An investor who puts surplus wealth into a new venture helps create wealth. An illiterate Third World farmer who turns seeds into a crop with his labor does too. And not just products, but services. People who fix computers, sweep streets, broker deals, and wash windows leave something behind more valuable than it was when they started.

Wealth can be destroyed. It's obvious when something real is destroyed, like a building, or some other product of human effort. It's less obvious when shackles, legal or real, are placed on those people who would create far more wealth without them.

Wealth can also be looted. And often is. With few exceptions, those who harp loudest on the evils of capitalism and surplus wealth are attempting to set up a phoney moral justification for such looting.

I wish to God they taught real economics in this country. A lot of students can talk about money supply, and M1 and M2, but have no idea what the nature of money is or should be, or why individual freedom and wealth seem to go together so often.

Of course, given who runs most of our education system, this isn't surprising.

The rest of the post is just drivel. The Constitution and Bill of Rights have nothing in them about the redistribution of wealth.

The author of this bit wouldn't know real slavery if he saw it.
