Early in the morning I fell in love with the girl that later on became my wife. At that time we were so naive. I wanted to charm her so I read her Capital by Marx. I thought somehow she would be convinced by the strength of his criticism about capital.

If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary's. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes.

Now people look at 'The Scream' or Van Gogh's 'Irises' or a Picasso and see its new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value.

Capitalism is using its money we socialists throw it away.

I call crony capitalism where you take money from successful small businesses spend it in Washington on favored industries on favored individuals picking winners and losers in the economy that's not pro-growth economics. That's not entrepreneurial economics. That's not helping small businesses. That's cronyism that's corporate welfare.

Capital is money capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring or at the least lays golden eggs.

A system of capitalism presumes sound money not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings not credit creation by a central bank.

When Jesus comes back these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.

Legislation to create a new 10 percent tax bracket reduce the marriage penalty cut the tax rate on dividends and capital gains and increase the child tax credit have been essential elements in this economic expansion.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money but to make money do more for the betterment of life.
