grab capitalism by the balls

N.B: this expression is supposed to be used mainly by WASPs when talking to other WASPs, but this is not mandatory; non-WASPs can, but again this is not mandatory, use other perfectly correct English translations of the same Latin phrase, such a 'grab life by the horns', among others.

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial line' grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.

as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, but i doubt it they would have used the exact same words.

Great use of Capital Letters

When you are marking someone’s English you would say ‘Great use of capital letters!’ Instead of ‘great use of vocabulary!’

Good work George you used a great use of capital letters!

Capital Gains Tax

CGT is a tax levied on the profit when individuals (except Angela Rayner MP) sell an asset.

That Angela Rayner, I've heard she's a big Maggie Thatcher fan, being particularly impressed with Maggie's 1980 Housing Act, which enabled council house tenants to buy (and sell) their council house. Hang on, I hear Rayner has not only broken electoral law by saying she is registered as living at said council house, but is in fact living down the road with husband and kids. She has also failed to pay capital gains tax on the profit made when she sold the council house.
On well, good on her! Hold on a minute, what's her role in the current Labour government - Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government - NO !!!!! You've got to be pulling my plonker!

capitalism

Capitalism is a pedagogical inquiry into the question of whether it is ethical to act in one's interest...

Capitalism transcends the first ethical question by concluding that it is ethical to trade one's desires to self-interest with outside entities.

Capitalism draws its conclusions on the ethics of self-interest by assuming the desire to self-interest can be divided into discrete supply-demand ratios.

It is erroneously stated that communism ended the right of kings.

Capitalism--a supply/demand ratio that arose after the earth became too fallow to allow the serf-lord feudal system to continue--was the system that ended the divine right of kings.

This is because Adam Smith was a continental philosopher not an analytical philosopher.
