These reality television shows teach your family about capitalism!

Reality television has long been written off as mindless, cheap, factory line, entertainment. Whether you’re talking about Bad Girls Club which pits drunken, scantily clad women in a house to watch them fight, or perhaps the multiple sexes together in Big Brother or The Real World. Not to mention what could only be classified as the worst show in the world, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

Reality television is responsible for some of the most mindless series ever invented by man.

But it also has some of the most educational.

Ever since the early days of prime time reality smash hits reality television has been a beacon for teaching the population about capitalism. Who can forget the glory days of The Apprentice?

But now it seems that in a world of news media that constantly attacks conservative values, top-rated reality shows are doing nothing but teaching it.

Shows like Bar Rescue, Gold Rush, The Profit, Shark Tank, Save our Business, and Undercover Boss all teach the basic principles of making profit. Capitalism dominates the reality television landscape, all the while airing on major liberal networks who despise such a system every night in their evening news!

Most notably is Mark Burnett’s Shark Tank, a spin-off of the long running international series Dragons Den. It is a show that is arguably more Biblical than his popular Bible Series or recent movie Son of God.

Every Friday night the country is taught the basics of pure capitalism. Sell stuff. Make a profit, even if you have to transfer production to China to reduce costs. Viewers are not just being entertained by the over the top and ruthless antics of Kevin O’leary. They are learning how business works. Whether they know it or not. They are getting a Bible lesson.

In a nation that teaches that corporations who profit are evil and ruthless, Shark Tank teaches why it is essential. Small business owners need profit to buy inventory, to fulfill purchase orders, to grow, hire people, provide jobs- and most importantly take care of their family. America now understands the difference between equity and royalty. The cost of manufacturing, overhead, and profit sharing are part of the language of Mark Burnett’s hit show. You can’t get this sort of education in most liberal universities.

But it doesn’t stop there. Bar Rescue, a show on Spike TV, shows Jon Taffer- one of the worlds leader in Bars and Nightclubs, going into failing bars, scolding business owners for having female employees dressed like hookers. Yelling at the owners Would you allow your husband to come to a place like this, would you bring your wife here?! He teaches failing bar owners why they are, in his own words, immoral for allowing their customers to become overly-intoxicated, and how that actually damages profits by making people not want to return. A good bar is a classy bar.

The Profit, which airs on CNBC, is currently one of my absolute favorite television programs on right now, mainly because of its regular lack of a happy ending. It follows Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Camping World and Good Sam as he travels across the country looking to purchase failing businesses and turn them around. He often emphasizes how poorly running a company can add stress to families and ruin marriages, or in some instances, the failed marriages ruin the company. Many people refuse his advice, and Lemonis walks away. A great demonstration of the destructive nature of pride.

The Bible teaches that capitalism is a good thing. Like the Government, it can be a tool that is used to suppress evil. We saw that in action with Chick-Fil-A and Duck Dynasty. Money forces pagans to go against their ideals. A&E can’t simply throw away a billion dollar dynasty, no matter how contrary the show is to its networks worldview.

The irony is these shows about capitalism are on because of capitalism. Our nation is on the brink of a failing economy, and in tough times, people look for ways to make extra money. When people fear losing their jobs, they turn to ways of creating them. When people can no longer count on the Government, they tend to find ways to provide for themselves.

These shows bring hope and encourage everyone to dream and innovate. To work hard and to provide for your family, and your employees.

Nothing else on television is as Christian as that.
