The capitalistic economic system is not perfect but it is better than every other. In this system, if money is what turns you on, we are, each and every citizen, free to pursue that goal with all legal means. Freedom is the promise that the pursuit of money is open to all. However, freedom is not equal freedom.
Some of us have certain advantages in the pursuit of money within every economic system. Our birth circumstances, intelligence, talents, effort,vision, luck, creativity, race, education and social position are factors, but none are determining factors in capitalism. Every citizen has the opportunity to pursue money from every life circumstance, that is freedom. It is called free enterprise.
Freedom is not a guarantee of money, there will be haves and have not’s, which shall we be? In the capitalistic economic system, we all make a choice by our actions or inactions. We are all individually responsible for shaping our own lives. In any other system, the government picks winner's and loser's, this is the rule of big government and the resulting "nanny state". That is who we have become, The United Nanny States of America, let's just change the logo.
Are there more important life priorities than money? Again, we are free to choose.
