If you are poor, you get a choice of how you choose to starve to death. Its all about free-market consumer choice, you see. You can either beg on street A or street B depending on what takes your fancy. (That is until the cops come and gun you down....)

Corporate logos make such a lovely replacement for mediaeval coats of arms.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Capitalism is the best way to distribute scare resources through the laws of competition, demand and supply. Capitalism is the fastest way to increases the standard of living of world's population, capitalism brought us all the goodies like the Internet for us to use and come together in this great group.

Capitalism to the disappointment of it's opponents will provide the solution to the world's environment problems.  ;D

Capitalism creates the bitchiest losers.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

Delighted to  ;D

Capitalism promotes competition.

Competition brings people to work to their highest potential and push whatever gifts they have to the limits.

Competition in this sense also entails technology, entertainment, and the quality of everything that comes out.

When something gets overpriced other companies move in to make profits and by the laws of demand bring the price back down to a reasonable rate. This and what I already mentioned about competition conjunctively help maximize efficiency. In the past government has even noted that when you create artificial price-ceilings or floors blackmarkets occur and cause it to happen regardless, only difference is different people reaping the profit.

Capitalism has a natural quality check - consumer choice, and when a company does become monopolistic it doesn't take 'big government' to have them break up into smaller corporations.

Its a flexible system and with minimal stoking from the sidelines can withstand more hard blows than most other systems, at least for what's been shown through history. The times it hasn't root causes were found, learned from, and corrected.

Although you have to pay for healthcare you also don't have the government slowly being able to tell you more and more what you can or can't do when it comes to those services - also since the doctors are as well payed as they are you tend to get the best of what the world has to offer.

Capitalism encourages a lot of spending and by spending you give it back to the same businesses who pay their workers to make more of that product. The man is us and vice a versa.

You can choose to be your own boss if you have a skill you really want to persue and are willing to put the time and effort into doing the research and figuring out the practical ends of what you have to do in order to make that dream a reality.

You have a progressive tax system where if you aren't really making that much you probably aren't getting more than 20% from your check and more than half of that is returned to you after tax season rather than getting 40 or 50% sometimes yanked out of your paychecks.

Born into this world for one inherent purpose: to drop science and drop it heavy.

Pure capitalism is efficient and flexible to begin with, but is inherently prone to converting to feudualism with time, as certain groups and individuals amass wealth and power and become entrenched in the system, reducing the common folk to economically-induced serfdom.  This process will always occur, but is greatly accelerated by governmental manipulations at the behest of economically powerful sponsors.
