[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s wrong with Capitalism?  Work hard, pay your taxes and create jobs in the process.  America didn’t become the great country it is based on all these quasi-Marxist virtues that DEI is all about.

If you want to donate to the poor, go ahead...  God bless you. But you can often do more good for society by being a wealth seeking capitalist than a lecturing bleeding heart!

I completely agree capitalism is fantastic. It's not perfect but it's raised more people out of poverty than another other system in world history. One of the things that worries me about critical race theory being taught at SR is that it's often accompanied by very anti-capitalist and anti-family teachings. So I'm with you there.

But I send my DD to SR because I want her to know her responsibility to those who have less than we do. That doesn't mean she should go through life patting herself on the back for supporting confiscatory tax rates for people richer than her.  It means she should be a caring individual who gives her personal time and resources to people less fortunate than she. That's not anti-capitalism. I think SR historically has done a good job of this.  Currently I believe it's getting lost in the politics of the moment and the focus on race and gender above all else.
