                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the 
            superiority of capitalism as an economic model.

Whereas the practice of the fundamental principles of capitalism has resulted in 
        increased wealth;
Whereas the practice of capitalism has simultaneously fostered personal dignity 
        and independence and extensive voluntary cooperation;
Whereas the practice of capitalism has resulted in enormous reductions in the 
        costs of goods and services, increased upward economic mobility, 
        increased wages, and increased competition, and thereby the quality of 
        goods;
Whereas the practice of capitalism has resulted in wider diffusion of knowledge 
        and education;
Whereas the practice of capitalism has resulted in dramatic extensions of life-
        spans and improvements in the quality of life;
Whereas the practice of capitalism has resulted in the spread of democratically 
        accountable forms of government and the rule of law; and
Whereas capitalism has historically been and continues to be misunderstood: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives encourages--
            (1) increasing public awareness of the principles and 
        achievements of capitalism;
            (2) the expansion of educational programs that promote 
        capitalism and honest free enterprise;
            (3) the broadening of access to content that advocates the 
        fundamentals of capitalism;
            (4) the awareness of the distinction between capitalism and 
        other economic systems; and
            (5) the promotion of the study and the emulation of the 
        best practices of honest, rule-abiding capitalism.
                                 <all>
