Our lives have only gotten better as a result of capitalism and the ability to scale.
We all aspire for some form of achievement, and usually applaud those when it is first obtained. Most recently the new wolf of Wall Street (Whitney Wolfe Herd) has been heralded in the media as the female CEO making history and a person to aspire to. But entrepreneurs beware, if you do too well for too long, perceptions of your wealth will likely shift as our culture tends to position wealth creators as greed mongers. However, it is our greed, not the entrepreneurs, that rewards them with riches. We willingly hand our dollars over for Teslas, iPhones, and Prime deliveries that fulfill all types of needs and desires. As such, we should be thanking businesses for the options they have provided, not giving producers guilt trips for the voluntary exchanges that they have enabled. So here are some contradictory reasons why we shun those who have profited the most from their success, and why we should change the negative narrative.

Shortly before Christmas last year, Susan Rice and Jake Sullivan, two top advisers to President-elect Joe Biden, sat for an interview with EFE, a Spanish wire service, to issue a stark warning to migrants considering journeying north to the nation’s southern border: Don’t come now — but help is on the way. The next day, Biden was similarly pointed, saying his administration — while eager to roll back Donald Trump’s immigration policies — first needed to implement “guardrails” to avoid winding up with “2 million people on our border.” Less than a month later, the new president began tearing down some of the guardrails himself. He issued five immigration executive orders on Inauguration Day alone and promised an immigration policy far more humane and welcoming than that of his predecessor. His administration also began allowing unaccompanied minors into the country, a marked departure from the Trump administration’s approach. Now, the Biden administration is scrambling to control the biggest surge in 20 years, with the nation on pace for as many as 2 million migrants at the southern border this year — the outcome Biden said he wanted to avoid.
