    But how am I gonna get someone to work for me without invading their freedom to choose to do what they want?

    By offering them something in return…? Money for example, from which one can buy nice things.

    That’s how we do it! That’s what gets people working for me - the threat that not doing so will put 'em on the street!

    Not contributing anything at all wont work in any system or sosciety. Or in what system can I lay in bed all day and get everything I need for free?

      Who says I should do that? It’s my prerogative to do what I can to make money. Don’t try and regulate my ambition, you totalitarian communist.

      Absolutely nowhere, I say! Only people with gumption deserve to live!

        You can do what you like but you asked me how to get people working for you so I made a proposal.

        Do you actually have a point or are you just being ridiculous because you have no arguments?

          I have plenty arguments. They were all written down for me by Adam Smith and improved by Milton Friedman.

            Whats your point? I explained why I find capitalism to be a fair system and further elaborated on what I concidered “fair”. What are you trying to say or are you just trolling?
