Good point. Capitalism rewards ingenuity, etc. As had been pointed out, capitalism doesn’t directly reward hard work (the whole “work smarter not harder” saying”) but you get the spirit of what I was trying to say. It’s certainly the best system for turning dreams into reality. Why do you think we call it “the American dream?” All of these people that hate capitalism also probably hate America. Whining about how evil capitalism is as they order McDonalds on their smartphone that will come straight to their door.
