By doing so, I will crush my competition while professing that "competition is good!" :woohoo:

7. Some new form of capitalism shall rise from the ashes of the old, just like the mythical bird. |
|
Somewhere, someone will decide they have a need for something they either don't have, or can't make themselves. Someone else will recognize the opportunity to provide whatever is needed, and produce it, at a profit to themself.

9. Not what capitalism is about. |
|
Capitalism is about exploiting workers, the capitalist retaining as much of the value of the worker's labor as he can get away with.
You don't need capitalists to provide what is needed, labor does that, capitalists are simply parasites. You are channeling Ian Rand.

11. Oh no, who will make me hamburgers for the lowest wage legally allowed? |
|
Who will I have to pay rent to?
Who will take all the profit I create during the workday?
This is horrible, just horrible.
