That’s right! Fox News regular, Capitalist Pig’s Jonathan Hoenig, doesn’t just hilariously take on Occupiers: He puts his money where his mouth is.
I'm giving away $2,000 to 10 of my 20,000 followers (Thank @MKHammer). http://t.co/mXQiRQP1ds

Apropos.
You can thank Fox News contributor and Hot Air’s editor-at-large Mary Katharine Ham.
I had admired her videos and thoughtful debates on Fox News for years and was delighted to meet her. Over casual conversation about politics and culture, Mary Katharine raved about her experience on Twitter and encouraged me to join. I’m very happy to have followed her advice!
Just a few years later, I’m thrilled to have 20,000 followers and be actively engaged with people all over the world. This is the true marketplace of ideas, and like the answering machine, aspirin or any act of wealth creation, we now can’t imagine life before it.
As a small token of gratitude to my followers, I’m giving away $200 to ten different people who follow me on Twitter. Simply tweet @JonathanHoenig with hashtag #Capitalism and tell me why you think capitalism is good. I’ll pick my ten favorite answers and send you $200 cash, along with your choice of Capitalistpig t-shirt.
Fabulous. Tweeting and capitalism? Swoon!
The contest ends Sunday night.

True #Capitalism frees the bondage of the mind, body & spirit, freeing people to pursue happiness.@JonathanHoenig
— John Glendenning?? (@johnglenpdx) August 1, 2013
@johnglenpdx I like where you're going: pursuing individual happiness. You're on the shortlist. Keep 'em coming and thanks!

MT @RightWingTips: @JonathanHoenig Get a progressive in on this. Free money to think for the first time // All welcome, no limit on entries.

@Kerryepp Yes, #Capitalism works, it "delivers the goods." But why is it right? Why is it good? That's what I'm looking for.
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
@JosephAiello1 You say #Capitalism brings out the best in humanity. What about "dog-eat-dog"? What about "unfair" wages? Or "greedy" CEOs?
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
@honestlycorrect makes a great point. #Capitalism is inherently win-win. You're on the shortlist as well. I'll announce winners Sun nite!
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
I like where @ProfImportant and @todknutson are going. #Capitalism removes force from human relationships. No other social system does that.
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
MT @GerkenB: @JonathanHoenig By #Capitalism you're referring to free market capitalism? // There is no other kind. Cronyism ≠ Capitalism.
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
Amen.
@EnemyofStatists I like your answer: #Capitalism is "satisfying" and "makes you smile." So true: it creates self-esteem, self-confidence.
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
@jjauthor You're on a roll! Keep it up. I'll announce winners this Sunday. #Capitalism
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
MT @agd_tweets: Cuba made progress in more areas than countless capitalist countries // You consider lack of even basic freedoms "progress"?
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
MT @joshkolbert: @JonathanHoenig May I have a shirt to promote #Capitalism at my university? // Sure! Just buy one: http://t.co/DbHTa5KOqR
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
Ha! Beautiful.
MT @pondlizard: @JonathanHoenig I think #Capitalism is good because it allows free people to be free thinkers // Yes! Using your own mind.
— Jonathan Hoenig (@JonathanHoenig) August 1, 2013
He also retweeted some terrific #Capitalism tweets.

.@JonathanHoenig #Capitalism is the only system that preserves opportunity, property, charity, & ambition as individual rights and rewards!
