RE: The Wealth of a Nation: Why Capitalism Works

in #liberty8 years ago

Rick last night I was in the main transport hub here in Panama and I saw about 50 refugees who are sleeping in the terminal hoping for their chance to make it North to the USA. They were from Congo, Senegal and Cuba. I have spent plenty of time in Africa and understand what they are leaving. They are not trying to get to the USA because of their social programs, they are trying to get there because of the dream of capitalism they see in media. Boy are they in for heartbreak. I really wanted to tell them that they would be better staying here in Panama where Capitalism is alive and well.

Indeed, that is a sad story. And while one or two might make it, most just won't.

Then again, we have the same story within the US with people trying to get to Hollywood to go into acting, where most just don't make it.
