RES. 422 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 5, 2011 Mr. Rohrabacher submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services 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

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.
