Steve Forbes: Why the Left is Wrong about the Morality of Capitalism

HD Video Download

"Markets are always portrayed as cold," says former presidential candidate and Forbes Media Chairman Steve Forbes. "Free markets are quite the opposite. They bring about cooperation, they break down barriers, they succeed by meeting the needs and wants of others. You may not love your neighbor but you want to sell to your neighbor."

Forbes sat down with Reason TV Editor-in-Chief Nick Gillespie while at FreedomFest 2015 to discuss the presidential field and the candidates' proposed tax plans.

Full interview to follow later today.

About 38 seconds.

Edited by Paul Detrick. Cameras by Meredith Bragg and Zach Weissmuller.

I hate my neighbor and don't want to buy from or sell anything to him,

His mother is a hamster, and his father smells of elder berries!

Did you fart in his general direction? That's the best way to deal with those types.

I love Steve Forbes, and wish he'd run for President again. But he's too smart to do that, and I gotta respect a man who thinks. "Fuck that! I got enough money and I don't need the hassle."

Google pay 97$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12k for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it out.

The Left not only occupies the moral high ground, their enemies build them a fortress there.

While the Left routinely accuses their enemies of being "racist sexist homophobes who want to starve the poor and throw granny off a cliff", their enemies say the Left has "good intentions".

Repeat after me:
The intention to rule your neighbor by force is the worst, to make him submit to your will, is the worst of all intentions.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
