Money and power are interchangeable. Take away the arena of money and you end up with totalitarianism. Capitalism is GOOD because it preserves the rights of the individual. An employee is not a victim in a robust economy where companies have to compete not only for customers but also employees. The arrogance of thinking you have to ‘give’ quality of life to another is disgusting! Instead, believe in them and DON’T STAND IN THEIR WAY! If you are a parent, your biggest job is to cultivate self-belief in your kids. Same if you are a teacher. My point is, when people believe in themselves, no matter what stands in their way, they will succeed. There will always be the arrogant elite. But they are nothing but a minor nuisance to those who believe in themselves. On a side note, there is no shortage of the arrogant elite in healthcare. But they have no claim on those who take responsibility for their care and believe they can, somehow, find what they need to know. The true value of capitalism has nothing to do with money. It is the celebration of the individual! The right to self-determination. The right to own property, your thoughts, your speech. The right to determine your course through life. The titans of industry have no claim on me. I can choose not to work for them. I can choose to not have an iPhone. I can choose to have nothing to do with Facebook, etc. Take the blinders off and try to see all those clamoring to make you a victim. Astounding! Poor me if I can’t buy this or that. Poor me, poor me, poor me. Absurd! My life is MINE. When the time comes to take that last breath, when I can’t take one more step, when it’s time to fly, I will have a smile on my face and love in my heart. I will thank God for the best life ever! How I get to that moment is up to me, and I will not fail. Because I believe in myself. That frees me to believe in you, whoever you may be. That is quality of life, and there is no price tag on it.
