Capitalism Is Not Fashionable

Capitalism and free enterprise are not appreciated in America - or around the world. Hugo Chavez attacks capitalism as an evil force at last week's "climate change" conference and receives a thunderous response. Of course it's OK for him to make a profit.

Schools don't teach about free enterprise and entrepreneurship. They teach about socialism and labor movements.

We have lost our way. Is it any wonder outlandish proposals such as health care and cap and trade are afforded serious consideration in our country today?

Entitlement, made-up rights, sharing in the wealth - all concepts contrary to what has made this country great.
