Ananova : Pro-global capitalism demo attracts 25 people =============================== A New Zealand demonstration in support of global capitalism attracted 25 people. The Walk For Capitalism in Auckland attracted people who believe in the free market system. They tied blue ribbons to Starbucks cafes and other businesses as a gesture of thanks. The walk was organised by Melbourne-based Prodos Institute and was held in 107 other cities worldwide. Protester David Pritchard, a customer services manager, says capitalists are unfairly painted as bullies with no interest in the environment or the poor. "If life is about the pursuit of happiness, selfishness is a virtue," Andrew Atlas, a civil engineer with a 'Taxation is Theft' sign stuck to his back said. Other demonstrators held placards saying 'I own my life, I am not a slave, I am a capitalist' and 'Capitalism is Good', the Stuff website reports.
