This is Why Capitalism is Great

Stay out of the poverty mindset. @XAVIAERD

Capitalism is based on consent. I have to agree to buy what you agree to sell. No other system promises this.

To quote my elder brother, "I don't hate rich people; I want to be one of them!"

Capitalist mindset: motivated to succeed.
Socialist mindset: greedy, lazy & envious.

I'll never be able to afford a Lambo regardless, but I'm sincerely glad that they exist and other people drive them. I don't need to experience every luxury and pleasure to be happy in life.

[akpred]

That is such a great point! I never thought about all that trickle-down in purchases like this!
I think about it in reverse whenever mandatory wage increase is brought up though 😢

[MikeD-lrev]

I think "whats that person do for a living" 🤔

Poverty victim attitude. They worked hard and get to enjoy the fruit of their labor.

And what about the workers who were laid off to increase profits that don’t get any of that money? What if with the money he spent on that car he bought 10 smaller cars and gave them away. Then not only 10 times amount of people would get cars, but also 10 times the amount of workers would get paid for their part in making that car.

That is WHY I LOVE YOU.
Work hard, effort your limits more .
envying others it is not a job.

Nothing wrong with being humble. Just don't get envious. And yes there is such a thing as a responsibility to the poor when rich especially if you use resources from those people.

[joshuarosenwald]

Do u know how many more politicians could have had an even more enriched life with that money for the lambo??

[ibalushkin]

Wow. The first time I hear how someone explains it. This is actually so cool.

[sonjaangell]

My husband is one of those mechanics who works on those luxury cars. No complaints here.

[darienhemmerlein]

Still remember the day I realized a lot of people I saw with nice cars were also making payments on them and didn't actually own them. HUGE perspective shift for me

[laurarobinson]

Wow that is a really good refocus. Valid points.

[dcontreras]

I didn't think the first way...but tbh, I've never considered his second point. That just made me more educated. 😊

[Dustin-yq]

When I see someone driving a Car like A Corvette or Lamborghini...or even wearing a suit.. I think what did he do that I need to do... I see ...A Mindset That I Need... Can't wait for someone to See Me Driving a Vette and think I'm selfish... because they will be right... Because I worked for IT...

[ICUBUDO]

So true...I'm busted but love admiring a nice set of wheels when somebody has that...I'm never jealous, just wish I'd been adopted!! 😮😂😅

I think about the credit card companies getting 14% interest for 10 years to pay for it.
