Two-thirds of Time Person of the Year goes to capitalism


I find it interesting that 2 of the 3 honored as Time's Person of the Year represent the highest echelon of American capitalism: the Gates. Bill Gates has ridden the capitalist stallion to make his billions and is now choosing a high profile philanthropist path in giving much of his money to charitable causes. This goes completely against the liberal tenets that Time magazine so closely embraces. Liberal socialism seeks to even out the playing field to hold back "go getters" like Gates in order to reward the underachievers far and wide. As for wealth redistribution, I am surprised Time is honoring the voluntary give-away instead of forced extraction through taxation. So whether they realize it or not, the underlining "Person of the Year" is a 2/3 vote for capitalism.
