Is Capitalism Moral?

African-American economist Walter Williams - simple and brilliant:

The 20th century turned out to be mankind's most barbaric

We might ask why the 20th century was so barbaric.

How to Assist Evil

While America's leftists, socialists and communists condemn Hitler, they give the world's most horrible murderers a pass

Walter Williams:

First, they make a false distinction between fascism, communism and socialism but more importantly, they sympathize with the socioeconomic goals of communism and socialism.

Leftists, Progressives And Socialists

Free markets help the poor more

By Walter Williams

Listening to America's liberals, who now prefer to call themselves progressives, one would think that free markets benefit the rich and harm the poor, but little can be further from the truth.

Rights vs. Wishes

For Congress to guarantee a right to health care, or any other good or service, whether a person can afford it or not, it must diminish someone else’s rights, namely their rights to their earnings. The reason is that Congress has no resources of its very own. Moreover, there is no Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy giving them those resources. The fact that government has no resources of its very own forces one to recognize that in order for government to give one American citizen a dollar, it must first, through intimidation, threats and coercion, confiscate that dollar from some other American. If one person has a right to something he did not earn, of necessity it requires that another person not have a right to something that he did earn.

To argue that people have a right that imposes obligations on another is an absurd concept. A better term for new-fangled rights to health care, decent housing and food is wishes...
