Re: selfishness and jealousy

Hi Tom,

Let me clarify my point regarding selfishness.

Communism exploits selfishness and jealousy of one's neighbor.

Capitalism puts self-interest in the hands and responsibility of the individual.

Selfishness and self-interest are distinctly different animals despite their root of self concern.

Selfishness takes from others.
Self-interest does not.

One achieves its ends at the expense of others, while self-interest does not.

That make my position clearer?
