I haven’t written in a while mainly because I’ve been spending almost all of my time remodeling and updating my kitchen. I’m planning on selling the house soon and moving out of California where the taxes are high and the environmentalism is rampant. So my motivation is to not only enjoy the rest of my time living here, but to fetch top dollar by improving the home’s value.

The though crossed my mind of how wonderful capitalism is compared to any other system. I own my property and get financial rewards if I work to improve it. This selfish financial motivation has inspired many people to create new wealth to trade with others.

If I did not own my property or if the housing market was controlled by some government “fairness” agency, I would put my efforts in to something that I did own, and the world would still have a house with an old stinky kitchen.

Instead, because of capitalism, my house will be made better for someone else to enjoy.
