Yaron Brook: In Defense of Capitalism
From StosselTV
Progressives attack capitalism because it lets some become very rich while others stay poor. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call such a system “immoral.” But Yaron Brook, chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute says the opposite is true. He points out that the poor were much poorer before capitalism: “We have basically made about $2 a day for 100,000 years. In other words … we could eat what we farmed and that was it,” Brook tells me. “And then something amazing happened about 250 years ago.”
Around that time, a few countries tried capitalism. For the first time, people were allowed to profit from private property. That changed everything. Brook explains: “250 years ago we suddenly discovered the value of individual freedom. We suddenly discovered the value of leaving individuals free to think, to innovate, to produce without asking for permission, without getting the state to sign off on it and we call that the industrial revolution. We got much, much, much richer and it’s hard to imagine how much richer we got … electricity, running water, the things we all take for granted today, but we didn’t have 150 years ago … and yes, some people complain about inequality, but everybody got richer. Even the poor got richer.”

Many politicians across America condemn gambling. They crack down on slot machines and want sports betting banned. Yet, there’s one gambling operation they never try to ban: their own!
The politicians’ hypocrisy is disgusting. They should leave us alone. How we spend our money should be up to us!
