I thought that was the whole point of Capitalism.

You have proved his point.

Socialists believe life and economics is a "zero sum game", which is why they have the peculiar social and political views that they do. They really, sincerely believe that for one person to be rich, another must be poor. It is a "board game" mentaility which is in direct opposition to the reality of human history.

The Dark ages and Witch burnings were a part of human history.

I am a businessman. I build wealth and pay taxes without complaint.

Perhaps you should consider moving out of the U.S. if you do not like the rules we play by. Take your zero sum zero games elsewhere.

The only board game I am currently involved with is the bored of greed, ignorance, and stupidity of the fool game.

Only loser fools play and respect the outcome of a game where losers define winners and losers, never knowing which is which.

Revolution is for head choppers, evolution is for enlightenment.

Understanding is for ever.

Think and choose well.

If you do not, eventually that choice will be made for you by others.

Their level of compassion and understanding may even be less than yours.

Most teachers don't use that method because it is ridiculous for other peoples' grades to affect your own grade. However, that is necessarily how the economy works, as the pie is only so big.

Some of the A students are not going on to college. They should give their good grades to some of the lower students who are college bound to improve their admission chances.
