!["Equality Equity Capitalism" meme ](/sites/cato.org/files/styles/pubs_2x/public/download-remote-images/utopiayouarestandinginit.files.wordpress.com/12887037698/facebook_1545459214128.jpg1463564623570218211.jpg?itok=1bofgxm6) 

The new meme isn’t quite satisfactory either, since capitalism provides no guarantees about maximizing access to un-paid-for game views, but it’s nice to see someone challenge the highly unsatisfactory old meme.
