Anyone who watched that spectacular SpaceX launch earlier this week and still claims that capitalism is failing is just jealous of the success of their fellow citizens or is ignorant as to how free market capitalism, not overbearing Progressive government and certainly not socialism, has proven to be the great success story of the 21st century.

Capitalism results in our nation literally booming, and its technological gains in science, medicine, and standards of living are amazing, yet so many have allowed themselves to be gaslighted to ignore where we were under Obama (economic stagnation and failed socialized medicine) and Biden (not sure where we were, but the high prices of today were the result of Biden’s policies).

To the average middleclass citizen, the proof of the success of capitalism is in their 401k or pension fund that has grown so much, and their standard of living that is far better than just a couple of decades ago, and not even close to what their parents knew. But should wild-eyed Progressives and socialists get power all of that is at risk. So, voters must ask a few questions of the candidates that promise some kind of better way even in the face of such success. Candidates running on platforms of emotion, that have no foundation in reality or history.

They must be asked how can their policies avoid wrecking what is historically such a dynamic economic and technological engine? If they get into office how much reduction will there be in retirement and savings accounts, as well as personal income reduction. What will we do with our middleclass lives when they shift our national focus away from capitalism and onto policies guaranteed to lower the economic expectations for all Americans? How long will it take after they have had their run for our people to recover what they will have lost to Progressive and socialist folly?

SpaceX success as a private company is one of the most amazing success stories of capitalism. When compared to NASA’s long delayed efforts it is an indictment of anyone promising that big government, funded by soaring taxes and characterized by bureaucracy, will help our nation. No other economic system has the capacity to cultivate achievement as they have, and none ever will.
