Great list.

Capitalism provides the carrot that energizes free will to benefit the whole.

Socialism requires the stick to torment free will for the benefit of a few.

I notice you put your own quote on the list. It's good to believe in yourself.

Yes, esp when you no longer teach critical thinking. Elon was furious with Trump over the OBBBA because he raised the debt ceiling. Elon said enough's enough; but Trump said we need to get elected so we can stop the Left, and we can't if we cut back on all the existing entitlement programs. You can't beat Santa Claus, and fiat money/monetizing the debt is the tar baby we stuck to. I wish I could be more optimistic, but Franklin was right about voters and the treasury.
