How is that anti-god, or anti-capitalist? It's just a theory, nothing more, nothing less. Not everything a socialist tells is a plot to recruit people or to destroy your Laisez-faire, Adam Smith-like napkin sized world.
Sure it is. Isnt it the goal of Marx like society to redistribute the wealth to the people ?
If not for capitalism, Laisez-faire, Adam Smith like, the world would not be what it is.
I challenge you to show me a Govt. run system that works.
Economically, just from the way accounting is done, it is a failure....Govt. that is.

You deny by admitting that I'm right. You claim Americans do think like that, and that could easily have been the result of the protestant settlers, which have become a state of mind over there. You don't even bother to come up with an alternative, except denying it's true, even when you seem to say you're a religious person (well that's what I assume with this line: "Yea. Sure. A neat anti-God, anti-Capitalist Mantra rolled up into a Uni-Professors Leftist/Atheist beliefs."), and at the same time claim you're not even slightly influenced by it.
Denying its true ??
How can hard work, and earning a living, accumulating wealth and leaving your family secure be considered....Protestant ?
Its petty, illogical, an attack on religion as focusing on the individual, and not the community, and does a double attack on God lovers, and capitalist on one fell swoop.
My belief in the free market, has nothing to do with my religion. I truly see no correlation, but some socialists do. And THAT baffles me.
Alternative ?
Americans believe in hard work and play. Most dont like Unions or Govt. intervention, unless you are in the union, or a Govt. weanie.
I see you Euros as believing in work as little as possible, and extract as much as possible, and force my employer through the power of my Govt. to give me as many paid vacations and absences as possible.
I understand the nature of negotiation w/my laborers, my workers.
On a one to one basis, one gets more benefits or less, from me as a correlation to their production.
NOT....
some Govt MANDATE, that all get this or you are penalized by us, the Govt.
Its counter-productive and assumes (socialist like) that all are the same, and deserve the same.
This is so far from reality, it must be evident to all......even a good socialist.
even you ALAN....write of the poor or other than you as "They." Who the hell are they ??
Those that you believe need your help, your intervention ??
Its up to you all to decide what is best for all ??
Funny. My BEST workers, my best performers HATE unions. Because they could never be paid as well under a union contract.
Yet...the lazy bastards, the ones close to getting let go, ...are the ones that complain why the other makes more money, and how Unions are great.
Go figure.
If you need a UNION or a GOVT for you to feel secure ? To mandate your Health care, your education, your holiday from work, your contract w/your employer, your retirement in the future....
You are a loser, and a quitter. You are a person who has no self confidence, and no faith in yourself.
You are far from what it is that makes America so unique and so admired/hated by all the world over.
To be the master of your security, your accomplishment, your wealth and your families security is much better than being the ward of the state.
I prefer the state stay the hell out of my business.
You Euros seem to feel you need the state ..... to feel secure and safe.
Just like a Uni-Professor and his tenure. 
Come .......joust w/the master.
I'm always Right. You are just intellectually Left.....behind.
Individual patriot, and a REAGAN Conservative.
