The Meaning of Life - Capitalist Style

We exist to consume goods and services in increasing quantities, and produce them at ever-decreasing cost – enabling profits for investors, and stratospheric compensation for executives.

Whenever the government inserts itself into an industry (e.g. healthcare, finance, etc.) to provide a service directly, or regulates it to assure equity among workers or consumers, it blunts the profit motive, decreasing the expression of free will among corporate executives – and depriving the rest of us of our raison d’être.
