Capitalism punishes those who choose to aid the poor


wat

He's half right and half wrong, as i remembered later thinking about this post after my initial reply last night. Long-term, capitalism rewards businesses and individuals who choose to inject more money into the bottom rungs of society. Short run, capitalism absolutely condemns it, usually through short-tempered investors who flip their shit over anything other than constant growth in dividends. Capital investments alone are seen as a necessary nuisance, let alone any who dare to help their poorer workers get a leg up.

That doesnt mean it punishes aiding the poor

 It's apparently illegal to feed homeless people in many american states. Only tenuously related but still.


It is?
