    As far as I can see, those at the higher echelons of countries which still have socialism are also in a wealthy and privileged position at the expense of the 'proletariat'. I can't see any of them giving that up without a fight.

    I take my hat off to the schoolboy for his initiative and I'm sure he will do well in life. I wish I'd had his nerve when I was at school. (envy on my part). Although his enterprise is now probably at an end owing to the 'school rules' I don't think that will suppress his will to achieve his ambition.

    In my opinion, most successful business men today have got there by 'sailing close to the wind'. Survival of the fittest and all that. These are the people who create jobs.

    They can also destroy jobs, look at those enterprising fellas in the banking industry c2008.

    Which you apparently don't understand if you think it justifies anything business people do.
