The essential notion of a capitalist society...is voluntary cooperation, voluntary exchanges. The essential notice of a socialist society is force. Whenever we depart from voluntary cooperation and try to do good by using force, the bad moral value of force triumphs over good intentions. Milton Friedman 1912-2006.
Let The Good Times Go
It is in the hearts of patriots
Since a long, long time ago
To take care of each other
In any ways we know
The more Americans can prosper
The more they can offer employment
To the Americans who wish to thrive
And never sherk at their deployment
A capitolist society brings prosperity
For all eager workers to enjoy
The business that grow from this
Begetting wealth as they employ
A socialist government brings you down
With their handouts and their control
They tax to death the businesses
Until they can't reap what they did sow
Driviing away the taxpayers
And putting the people on government rolls
Until they have to rely on entitlements
Hands out for government doles
The pride is all forsaken
Prosperity is now a myth
As our country sinks and flounders
In a deep and dark abyss
The tyrants now are dancing
To their socialistic songs
And we yearn for the prosperity
To come back where it belongs
