Always thought capitalism was the best thing and America had to be the one nation getting things right but lately.... I'm still a capitalist (or preferable a social democrat) but capitalism need its checks and balances. Human beings are inherently greedy species. Republican
s that decry regulation
s and all that are just setting us up for a very bitter life... This American dream will never be realized because those that already have it will see to it that no one gets it either cuz it will diminish what they have or just out of plain evil greed. A system where everyone is given the same opportunit
y and those who make the best of it go on and those who don't stay where they are (not dirt poor tho). A system that doesn't stifle creativity and intelligen
ce but also doesn't hold certain ethnicitie
s, races, social classes, income brackets back would be the best for all. Capitalism should not be defined as get get get keep keep keep don't give a damn person for a damn reason. Whether the government demands it or we do it willingly, we should all care about those who cant have the basic necessitie
s and maybe a little more. It really won't take anything remotely significan
t out of us to give EVEN to a seemingly lazy person.
