Liberals argue that capitalists want to restrict taxation out of greed, where as conservatives consider the liberals to be the greedy ones who fail to understand what causes the economic engine to run, and who inculcate class envy and dependency in order to shore up a political power base. Our basic capitalistic system, which still centers on principles of free enterprise, free choice, and competition has raised the world standard of living and arguably brought about the industrial revolution. It is the crown jewel of productivity. Private ownership of property and chattels is a hallmark of our system. Accumulation of wealth is a by product.
Competition dictates that there are winners, and losers.
The winners expand and create more capital. More capital investment means more jobs. The process is synergistic and conceived to work with minimal governmental interference. When wealth is accumulated, the assault begins on the part of the those whose only hope of acquiring wealth is to take it from the producer. To a capitalist, morality involves playing the game fairly, but playing to win.
