Amazon did the pro-capitalists a great favor by exiting their NYC deal when the progressives threatened more economic extraction. The company demonstrated belief in their own purpose of economic betterment, and adherence to the principles of contract based on property rights. Let’s cheer them on.

    I don't think capitalists are well served by engaging anyone except as respected employees, suppliers, customers, or investors. Only in the political realm do we need principled capitalists.

    No, it only proves that the tax structure is horribly complex and only benefits the trolls. And just as bad, it attracts the cronies.

    The way for capitalism to prosper and spread is to treat the confrontation with socialism as a war. The socialists know that and have been using every dishonest trick available to them to win that war. The free market is essential to individual liberty and the minds of the young are a vital battleground. Those minds must be trained in how to think instead of how to complain about non-existent "rights" to equal outcomes.
