Capitalist Lifestyle

The capitalist lifestyle has its advantages and it’s disadvantages. The advantages are that you are free from the government to do what you want. If you wanted to start your own business, your own destiny and no one it the world could stop you from doing it. You can work at one place as a career and one day decide that you wanted to be something totally different. That’s what so great about being in capitalist country, it’s your choice and no one else to tell you any different. You also have power of you own money. If you want put it in the stock market or in a retirement account. As another privileges we get to own property without someone just taking it away from you for no reason. Another thing with capitalism is that there is competition between businesses, which makes lower cost for people like me to buy items at stores. Everyone has the opportunity to better himself or herself and make something of themselves.

With all this great opportunities comes with a downfall. The disadvantages of being in a capitalist country is that we can have so much wealth and only make so much money we can make as human beings. Another is that the government control is limited which lets a few businesses dominate other small business. Which destroys small people like us that have a family business and have to close it up. It pretty much leads up to the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. If you don’t get a good start off the bat, it’s a long difficult way to the top and get rich. Also with health care is that here, it’s not free. If you don’t have health insurance, then you might as well dig your self a whole because you will be in so much debt and if you get hurt and can not work, then you will not get paid until you start working again and earn you pay check. Another is the one’s that are in power limit others who are not in power to give up all there time for work. Also not everyone gets the benefits of being in the capitalist system. So there are always two sides to every story, it’s just whether how you look at every situation.
