In the free enterprise system, every person and every business must compete to serve their fellow man better than others at a more competitive price. In socialism, government leaders provide for the service. People providing services under socialism must please government leaders. People providing services under the free enterprise system must convince every individual to turn over their hard earned money in exchange for services provided to them. |
Under socialism, government leaders decide who, how, what, when, where, why, and whether or not, regarding the provision. Under the free enterprise system, individuals have choices of who provides, of how it is provided, of what is provided, of when it is provided, of the location of the provision, why it is provided, and finally, whether or not to provide the provision. |
Under socialism, a person must convince government leaders to allow them to be a provider. Under the free enterprise system, a person can freely become a service provider themselves. Under socialism, people argue a service provider’s worth to the general public trying to persuade government leaders. Under the free enterprise system, the role of prices uses billions of decisions by millions of people to determine a provider’s worth. |
Under socialism, everyone receives the same items and the same services. Under the free enterprise system, every person picks from a wide variety of products and services. Under some versions of socialism, government leaders expand some choices to relieve the limitations of government control. Under the free enterprise system, all people receive products and services; however, the vast majority of each product or each service is attained by just a small fraction of the people. |
