Capitalists Don't Complain - They Gain

Liberals have tried to make “capitalism” a four-letter word. Too many underprivileged Americans have bought into it. Why? Because it’s much easier to complain than it is to get off of your hump and take responsibility for your own future. If Johnny has a bigger house than you and a thriving company to pay for it, that doesn’t make him the Devil. It makes him someone you should look to for clues on how to get what you want out of life.

Although as a Christian, I do not believe in waste or excessive carnal indulgence, I do understand that people usually only have a problem with prices when they can’t afford to pay them. Mr Big’s shiny new car wouldn’t make you mad if you could afford to get one. The prices of gas and food wouldn’t matter so much to you if you had the money to get all that you needed. Does that make price gouging right? No; it doesn’t. However, sitting around, standing around, walking around, or even marching around complaining about it and demonizing those who have the means to enjoy the finer things in life won’t put any food on your table, either – that is, unless you are the worst capitalist of all – the pseudosavior who gets paid to focus on problems and “oppressors” without ever coming to real solutions.

Free thinkers know the solution – go out and get enough money so that you don’t have to suffer. Ben Stein just published an article for the New York Times that really performs – not only does he admonish people that “You Can Complain, or You Can Make Money”, but he even tells young capitalists what pitfalls to avoid and what industries to consider on the road to wealth.

With disturbing statistics and practical advice, Ben Stein gives any conservative thinker whose ship has not yet come in another reason to put forth more effort today than yesterday toward becoming economically free.
