- Caius views on justice of capitalism:
-
- Laisser-fair capitalism is THE best just thing ever on Earth (it was never
- created - it evolved)
- The main justices are:
- -just tax (preferable poll-tax),
- -you spend your money yourself,
- -the only legal way of getting rich is to offer some sort of services
- to others.
-
-
- USA 1992 capitalism is rather just comparable to other systems at the
- same time. The main injustices are (descending order):
- -progressive income tax,
- -income tax,
- -other taxes,
- -minority quotas,
- -gov't manipulated currency,
- -social programmes.
-
- The worst injustice ever created is socialism of all flavours.
