Capitalism is the best system we have come up with so far primarily because it uses one negative trait of man (greed) to overcome another negative trait of man (laziness); and the end result is that most people end up at a balance the accept between having everything they want with the least effort put forth.Unfortunately, people generally are difficult to satisfy and they always want more from less effort ...

Hence the invention of the remote control, the microwave oven, and the instant pizza-pie.
