    Which book? You can't even remember if you gave it to me...you're big on giving people books and hour long lectures as your evidence I can supply you with some basic everyday examples that further prove my point....for instence in school I was horrible at math, all math, algebra, geometry, what have you. Well in an capitalist meritocracy if I make an F then I EARNED an F and if you miles got an A then you earned it. Either through your general knowledge and understanding of the subject, hard work dedication to studying, or being really good at cheating and my lack of all of the above would have earned me a failing grade. However, if our teacher used true socialism then miles you could work your ass off for that A and either due to my inability to grasp the subject or just outright laziness your A gets whittled down to a C so my F can be raised up to a C.....does that seem fair to you miles? Would I have actually LEARNED enough to receive my grade? Would passing me do anything but ruin the grade of the next hardworking A student? After a time of making C's while working for A's you would give up miles...unless you're psychologically imbalanced.

    I bring up this point because the OWS members that I know were extremely book smart, one even went to Harvard (though a lot of good it's doing him now ), when they are in the classroom they ARE competitive, they believe in hard work, studying, making themselves ready for the tests....but when it comes to life they've got their hands out, they've given up on themselves and they've become disillusioned with the world outside of being the teachers' pets. I was taught an important lesson early on in my life "LIFE IS NOT FAIR", it's a harsh reality but it is the 100% absolute truth, yes there will be trust fund babies born with the silver spoon in their mouths, but they had better work hard not to lose their fortunes because it can be got as fast as it came to them, probably faster, I've seen it happen with my own eyes.

    And speaking from a behavioral psychology standpoint capitalism simply makes more sense than socialism.
