Hoffman: Occupy Movement Socialistic

OK, I’ll say it: The Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Boise, Occupy Moscow (or whatever city or street you care to name) is all about entrenching socialism and socialist concepts into the American mainstream — and the policies the protestors seek are ones that have hurt them the most. The protestors involved in demonstrations across the country are upset because they believe our capitalist economic system doesn’t work for them. They see a system in which some people are rich and some are still poor. They claim rich people are greedy, because they have failed to volunteer their wealth to those who aren’t wealthy, and because the government hasn’t forced the wealthy to surrender their money in sufficient enough quantities.  But capitalism is a good thing, a healthy thing — the one tool that has the potential to help people of meager means/Wayne Hoffman, Idaho Freedom Foundation.

Question: Do you consider capitalism to be a good thing?
