I feel that the strongest moral consideration in favor of capitalism would be the freedom to pursue a business for private ownership or have private ownership of your own business by building it from the ground up. If you want to start your own business, you can do that. If you are interested in a specific job, you can figure out a plan to get yourself educated in that field, prove your worth through applying and interviewing, and you can eventually find yourself in that dream position through persistence and hard work.
