A good friend of mine in college used to say, "Opinions are like cowboy hats. Everyone has them and they all stink." Not entirely sure what that means, but I agree completely.
Okay, maybe the internet started that way, but by now, every website, this one being a perfect example, relies on profit to make it worth their efforts.
Every single product you use to enhance your life is made possible by capitalism. So how could capitalism be a bad thing? How would all these products be possible without it -- the government?

Capitalism is a big reason Columbus arrived here in 1956 on the Ninja, Pinto and Santa Clause. Money drives everything we love and when you make it impossible for people to make money, things change in a very bad way.
Without people looking to make a dollar, everything grinds to a halt.

So a claims that "government doesn't work" or "the government is the problem" are not truisms. Government money often seeds the ground for capitalism to function, such as highways, internet, microwave ovens, etc.
A logical argument can be made that those that benefit the most from these government investments pay progressive taxes.

The dollar has almost always been with us. In one form or another. Beads, trinkets, the extra wife in your cave you do not need. Perhaps pigs and gerbils and shiny things.

Currency is really nothing more than bartering at a high level. It just provides us with an agreed upon medium of exchange. The barter system is flawed in that there's always someone who wants something from you, but has nothing you're interested in or vice versa. I'm a computer tech by trade. How many computers must I fix for a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon?

I agree with you and but do that already. You fix a PC, get some cash and trade it for food. I think barter applies when no cash exchanges hands. That said, I think the IRS has something to do with it at some level.
