    Marketing makes capitalism better. Marketing educates consumers and businesses about their options. The more options that businesses and consumers are aware of, the better decisions that they can make. This can only be done when businesses are allowed to market their products and services.

    why not start spamming? It apparently generates money or companies would stop paying spammers. Thousands of people are clicking that spam and keeping them in business. You should do it to.
