Socialism Vs. Capitalism
What's the difference between Socialism and capitalism?

Socialism takes what Capitalism makes.
The real difference between capitalism and socialism is freedom.
Think of this way: capitalism is free enterprise. Socialism is a
government-controlled enterprise ~ it takes and keeps taking
until there's no more toilet paper.

The Democratic Socialists would have you thinking otherwise.
They'd say that Capitalism is squeezing workers, cheating
customers, is a plan of avoiding taxes, and it also is leaving
communities in the lurch. The complete opposite is true. In fact,
Socialism takes what Capitalism makes and eventually you'll run
out of other people's money (in addition to the toilet paper).
Capitalism is freedom! Learn how Capitalism beats Socialism...

Socialism vs. Capitalism
The battle between definitions of socialism and capitalism may
surprise you. The social democratic forces will have you thinking
that capitalism is bad, when in truth it's what's made America
great and what can Make America Great Again because it can lift
everyone into success.

Right is Milton Freedom's popular book,
Capitalism and Freedom,
which discussed how competitive capitalism serves as both a
device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition
for political freedom.

Rest assured that Capitalism is what has made America great.
It's not about resources, because Socialism is what has ruined
Venezeula, which is one of the countries with a vast supply of
economic resources. They should be a very wealthy country, and
they could be, except
Venezuela chose socialism.

Is someone else defining socialism and capitalism for you?
Capitalism is not "an ideology of capital" as Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez claims. Capitalism is synonomous with free enterprise
where the distribution of goods come by decisions made by
individuals and not the government. Where there's competition in
a free market to deliver the best products at a fair price, we all
thrive.

  • Capitalism: In a free market economy, we have the
    opportunity to get the best products to meet our lifestyle
    needs and wants. Capitalists believe they have something
    you want or need. If they're right they profit, but if they're
    wrong then they lose money. This system encourages
    millions of people to improve their life and others for profit
    in satisfying the needs of others. They take calculated risks
    to provide a product or service for others ~ some fail but
    many succeed. Capitalism creates wealth! With Capitalism,
    it's the consumer who has the ultimate power. They vote
    with their money.

  • Socialism: In a Socialist economy, it's the government who
    decides what resources you get from a limited supply. Ever
    notice how socialist countries seem to run out of basics like
    toilet paper? Think Venezuela. In a socialist economy the
    government decides what products should exist and they
    distribute what they think you should get. It means a limited
    few (government elites) decide what you get and how much
    you should pay. It takes away wealth ~ or redistributes it to
    the government elites.

So there you have it: capitalism creates and socialism takes.
Freedom is not free without free enterprise!

Andy Puzder, the former CEO of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, says that
"capitalism" is not a dirty word! Learn the truth about Capitalism
and how it contrasts with socialism in the video below:

economic systems and why capitalism produces wealth.

Socialism? Then read his book
The Capitalist Comeback, the
Trump Boom and the Left's Plot to Stop it.

Think about it ~ America was once a land where everyone was
encouraged to seek their fortune. Starting with the gold rush of
1849 when people of color and varying ethnicities came to
California for a better life. Oppressed Irishmen, Chinese, former
slaves, and in the end also Mexicans came to seek their fortune.
When our citizens are prosperous we all prosper.

Do you know that it wasn't the gold miners who profited most
from the Gold Rush? It was actually the people selling the
shovels. That's right: it was the merchants who brought their
cattle for slaughter so the miners could enjoy steak. It was the
merchants selling mining equipment. It was Levis providing a
durable pant! Admittedly, it wasn't until 1853 that Levi Strauss
created a durable garment "For Men Who Toil," but during the
California Gold Rush, this Bavarian immigrant began selling dry
goods as a wholesaler on San Francisco's Market Street. Just
about everyone struck it rich in California in some fashion if they
had anything to do with supplying miners.

You see, wealth creates wealth! This is free enterprise and this is
the spirit to teach our children.

Happy endings...
You're not free unless you have free enterprise.
