Is being pro-capitalism a conservative position?

That graph doesn't really say a lot...and 2008 was 6 years ago....yes it implies rising incomes in china, and for the very wealthy. Then the very poorest aren't seeing any improvements and are locked out of growth and the middle class of developed countries is declining...which means more class division as there will soon just be the wealthy and the poor.

I've learned many times to take graphs with a grain of salt.

^^^ No, the capitalists don't really care about sharing the wealth. They care about making money. Right now they are making money by strip mining the American middle class. This is also having the effect of making Chinese peasants slightly less poor, but that's just a random side effect.

In a world of huts and people starving, disease untreated, there is still the public expense of carting away the dead.

There has never been enough, never will be.

The Conservative view is, "It was that way when I got here."

Capitalists see it the same, but seek to gain the best of labor by paying wages, and ignoring the rest.

Capitalists are the only ones putting more money in circulation, and increasing the overall wealth. More than wages, it is also goods and services produced, that were not available, or at a price that more could afford, which further increased the general wealth.

Capitalists do seek better labor, and pay a living wage. The main limit on Capitalism is a lack of workers that can fill the jobs that are needed to increase output.

A Classic Liberal is about herd management. Pest Houses and Poor Farms remove the non productive, and those that spread disease. The forced education of children does them no good, is an expense on threir parents, that better prepares them for later employment.

Education, food, health care, is spent with the idea that it will produce stronger workers and soldiers in a short time.

The expense is put on current workers, with the employers and government adding more.

It has reduced poverty, disease, increased education, and produced a better skilled workforce.

It's focus is to make the best better. It is Capitalism applied to population.

Neo Liberal wants the same applied to everyone, and someone else to pay for it.

They also want to be paid like a Capitalist to manage this everything to everyone program.

Their view is make the rich to fund it, but at best, taxes are passed along to customers, or taken from workers wages.

Socialists just want to take over Capitalists, enslave them, and force them to make goods for the Masses.

These last two are an economic drag, and are opposed by the very forces that produce wealth.

Worse, half of all US spending is for war, which does nothing for the very people they claim to be helping.

Those same funds left in the pockets of Capitalists and Workers, would be spent many times over through the economy, and would increase it. Capitalists are better able to protect themselves.

This is money that Workers should have invested in Stocks, Bonds, and held as personal wealth.

Neo Liberals steal from Workers, and do not add to production, produce a better workforce, or increase the economy.

Socialism works until you run out of other people's money.

Then it steals from future generations by running up the National Debt. Now the future has less chance of being productive. At normal interest rates, the income of the US Government is barely enough to make the payments on it's debt.

The first thing stolen, Social Security, has to be paid. The second, aid to education, has put the cost of a defective product on the students. Student Loans are a new invention. Next First Graders will have to bring $10,000 the first day of school.

Healthcare seems to be a new tax, on everyone, but we already paid the highest price for the worst healthcare of any developed nation. Now it will cost more, for less service.

Most spending has been for the last six months of life, now people with hopeless medical conditions will get maxium healthcare.

Compared, it would cost much less to provide medical care, food and education to everyone under 25. Raise a healthy generation, health costs go down, production goes up, the economy grows.

Putting Neo Liberals in the Pest House, Work House, Poor Farm, is our best hope. Their income can be applied to the National Debt.
