After reading Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Idea, I am ready to start my own party. Who wants to join?

    I hate it when I make a typo in the notes section!

    Count me in. Another flaw of socialism is thinking that all people are created equal. All people are NOT created equal. While we recognize their God given rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness the fact is that we are not all equal. All people are not born with the same number of brain cells and synapses. An educator friend of mine suddenly realized this when visiting the home of one of her students. She stated, my god Ben, its genetic. Smart people tend to have smart kids and vice versa. While there are always exceptions both ways the Bell Shaped Curve holds true. If we will recognize this and let capitalism work we will all be better off.
