No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars.
Dinesh D'Souza:
[narrating]
The most successful entrepreneurs don't just supply wants and needs; they anticipate them. Nobody ever wrote a letter to Steve Jobs telling him to make a phone that would do email and take photographs, play music and show movies. He invented it and built it before we knew we couldn't live without it. This is capitalism's trump card. It encourages creativity and empathy, and puts them at the service of the wants and needs of people. The inequality the socialist left despises isn't created by entrepreneur. It's created by us. The proud boast of democratic socialism is that it puts the people in charge of the economy. What control do you have over the post office or the DMV? We vote in elections every two or four years, but as consumers, we exercise our choices daily, directly through the market. The free market is far more reflective of popular consent than democratic socialism. We didn't have to extend democracy from the political to the economic sphere, because we already have it. Capitalism, not socialism, is the true form of social justice.
