See what happens when "The Man" takes money from a hard-working little girl and and gives it to her lazy competitor. What do you think? Do those who work harder, longer and smarter deserve to earn more or should everyone make the same amount regardless of effort? Tell us your opinion and watch the other Lemonade Stand Economics videos at http://www.bit.ly/VirtuesOfCapitalism. To learn more: Read The Virtues of Capitalism by Scott Rae and Austin Hill

  • How in the world do we keep ourselves, our families and our society motivated to keep working, much less innovating, throughout our lives with a non-capitalistic worldview? Capitalism is not all greed and selfishness; it promotes a work ethic that successfully moves us through our lifespans while usually leaving good things to future generations. Gerontologically speaking, capitalism is positive for healthy aging!

  • @SuccessinAgingTV Agreed. Capitalism harnesses people's natural self-interest in the service of others. Those who serve others most effectively also enjoy the greatest personal reward. Watch for our next video coming tomorrow. It's called Penalizing Productivity and shows what happens when an increasing tax burden on a productive business person becomes too much to bear.

  • @jamel11234 capitalism has been "checked" for 100 plus yrs. there are way to many things to say about this in a small post. i will say one thing, the more you regulate, the more entrenched and self serving corporate or "welfare capitalism" becomes. i don't think you will ever really understand my point. you want to believe there is no way for you to get ahead, you need to feel as if someone is keeping you back, you would have nothing else otherwise. i'm done now.

  • We produce lemons in the us

  • really i work twice as hard as the owner of my company i make him millions a year wtf is with that he drives a cadillac im in a fuckin accent.

  • I notice you can't post video response to your bullshit propaganda. What are you afraid of if your so solid in your beliefs they can't stand competion?

  • Oh not to mention? You forgot to mention in this clip neither girl can afford to open up because they don't have a food lincense, standard working fire eqstinguisher, the didn't get a sign permit that can only be made by an official city sign maker, the proper regriferation to the lemonade. All the laws BIG LEMONADE CORP. helped to enact to make sure both little girls get shut down. AND THEY DO SHUT KIDS LEMONADE STANDS DOWN EVERYDAY FOR REAL. So don't hand me this bullshit monetary based

  • All things being fair yeah you have a point but the fact is they are not fair. NOT EVEN CLOSE. The rich girl is enslaving people in china to produce lemons at slave wages while paying the guy a few bucks to hold keep the other girl from being able to compete and turn his back on the unfairness. Yeah and thats just the basic bullshit of free market economics.

  • Oh I see the err to my wicked ways now. Rich people work harder. BULLSHIT. If it was that simple yeah I could see your point. Now take into account the one girl from years of oppression comes from a dsyfunctional family. Take into account the one girls family started her out with a lemonade store. The girl had to buy from the other girl to even get started then instead of paying the other girl? They give a little less money enriching the man instead so he will keep the other girl down.

  • The Duck walks up to the lemonade stand, said to the girl who was running the stand "Hey!" bop bop bop "Got any grapes!?"

  • The whit man is Obama.

  • Watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward

    Also how about "Capitalism Epic Fail"
