"Capitalism has been called cruel - yet it brought such hope, progress and general good will that the young people of today, who have not seen it, find it hard to believe." - Ayn Rand

    Capitalism works whenever it is seriously and morally tried. It can hardly be called cruel when it has benefited so many people in the history of the world. If you picked up a book called, "Successful Communistic and Socialist Societies," you would find blank pages.

    it comes back to the principle of "it's not fair!" the fact that someone can be better off than you is considered cruel

    To me saying capitalism is cruel is close to saying gravity is cruel. It's just exists. It not cruel or merciful.

    Nature is cruel, yet we arose from it and thrive within it.
