Capitalism

[killersheep]

Capitalism feeds off of natural human instincts and socialism is more of a "In a perfect world EVERYBODY would have a million dollars" but that doesn't factor into account that if everyone actually had a million dollars then a million dollars would cease to be a million dollars the way we think of it, it would be more like toilet paper....it would be worthless.

I think you are confusing this argument, I am not advocating pulling a Robin Hood for Socialism. I believe in indivduals owning property. However, there is an issue when that much of the property is in the hands of the few. It clogs the system, because the wealth is not flowing, as a result of that the country is less productive. I believe that stagnation of wealth and dependence on foreign banks is as dangerous as any terrorist organization.

Yeah it becomes more about control over and power over others.

Hey don't get me wrong, balance is everything. Look at Mexico, Russia, and Cuba...their revolutions were created basically out of having no middle class and having the greedy fat cats at the top.

I'm merely suggesting Capitalsim is an easier fit for human nature than Socialism simply because you're not punished for wanting more or striving to achive a higher goal than what society has set for you.

So I guess all I'm saying is as long as the money is tied up in that small group, it's gonna be hard for America. And the fact that China is buyin up real estate here, doesn't make me feel safe, or even OK with it.

Besides, being punished for exceeding society's goals will, in the long run, do very little to help the poor who have failed to meet those goals.
