he would rather walk around with his hand out. Blaming others for his failures, and proudly tell us how he will teach his child to be a whiny kid

Capitalism is the only system that removed structural power to allow a more free system of trade and enterprise. Just a basic understanding of GDP historically globally would prove this system is the king.

Branding is just biased marketing, totally misleading.

Sadly, liberals that hate capitalism, either don’t understand economics, or don’t think they can ever be successful

“Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.” -- Milton Friedman

Plenty of very smart people resent capitalism. Capitalism doesn't always reward smarts. So, something must be wrong with it. Cue planner-class: arrogant enough to think they know better and can do better.

What you're basically saying is that if people had an ounce of common-sense, they'd support capitalism?

Another mass shooting today. 10 people including 1 cop, and again the guy walks away without a scratch. Incredible.

Honestly think you're losing sight of the real issue here.

It's the fact it's another day another mass shooting and nothing will ever be done about it in USA, not that the killer wasn't shot.

100 %

A lot of the major crisis that has happened throughout the ages has been thanks to big governments and dictatorships.

Ww1 caused by governments
Ww2 caused by governments
Famines caused by communist governments

If every country in the world adopted free market capitalism, the world would be a much better place. But humans always want someone or something to worship, humans want to be controlled it seems

At least have your facts straight if you're going to continue to race bait. He was captured alive but apparently not "unscratched".

"Previously, authorities referred to the person in custody – whom they said was injured and was being treated at the hospital – as a person of interest. The suspect’s name was not released."

The only photo I saw of the suspect was a guy in his underwear with his right leg covered in what I presume was his own blood. They must have winged him. As with the other two guys we discussed on this thread I think we all would be fine if it had been a head shot.
