The error in debating capitalism is debating about who recieves the most benefits from which economic system. In this country we have a constitution that says that we the right to do what we want, when we want to do it, and however we want to do it, as long as don't violate anybody elses right to the same. The only sytstem that can come of this is capitalism. The U.S. is not a true capitalistic society, in that the government still tries to controll the economy any chance it gets. People who do not advocate capitalism advocate more government controll over the economy. I sumit that it is the government in this country, who's attempt at controlling the economy is what gives capitalism such a bad rap. In the minds of most people this country represents capitalism. For a more detailed explanation vistit the web site at the Ayn Rand Institute or read the book Atlas Shrugged
