Rick Kelo speaks on What Capitalism Requires

Rick Kelo, tax recruiter and West Point alumni

There is no single concept university academics have devoted more energy to destroying over the last 130 years as that of Capitalism.  Rick Kelo, however, has been at the forefront of advocating the peaceful, voluntary society created by Capitalism throughout the 21st century.

Rick Kelo points out that all capitalism requires you to do is not violate someone else's rights.  If you do that then you're a criminal and there's a police force and court system to deal with you.

What's the objection to this?  "But there's crime in capitalist countries like America too!"  Crime, as compared to what, Rick Kelo asks?  If you think there's crime in capitalist America imagine what life is like walking the streets of socialist Syria or Venezuela for a day.  Even America's worst example, the south side of Chicago (a city of 3 million) had 700 murders in 2016.  Compare that to the murder rate in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, which was 120 per 100,000!
