Why Capitalism is a total failure in the U.S.

  1. give me an offer on your soul and I'll decide how much I think it is worth and if I'm interested I'll make an offer and we'll just see how much your sous is worth.

    My guess is no matter how cheap you offered to sell your soul nobody would be interested.

    Since you have nothing of value to sell, you have decided to devote your life to decide just how much somebody else's soul is worth.

    What business is it of yours what price I decide to sell my soul for other than to advise others how much they should pay for it?

    Hey kid, this is the way capitalism works.

    I can teach any kid with a lemonade stand the principles in about five minutes. It costs you 25 cents to make a pitcher and you sell 5 glasses for 20 cents and you pocket 75 cents.

    How long does it take you to indoctrinate a kid or for that matter an oldtimer into communism? It all works well until someone asks the fatal question, "How are we going to pay for it all?"

    That's why no left wing liberal can ever have a call in talk radio show. They can spew forth their ideas all they want, but they can't allow people to call in and say, "It sounds good, but how do we pay for it?"

    You can only go so long paying for everything by taxing the rich until there are no more rich.

    They already tried this in the Soviet Union.

    There's an economist I really respect that shows how capitalism will eventually implode, but it won't occur based on your shallow assumptions.

  2. It's more shallow to believe that Communism is the only alternative to the current state of Capitalism.

    Europe is about to collapse due to "Democratic Socialism".

  5. For something to fail it has to have been implemented. Capitalism has never truly been implemented and never will be. It's not profitable enough for those at the top. For any system to work it must have guidelines and boundaries. Free markets work! Free rides and free for all's don't! There's an obvious difference conveniently overlooked by those profiting from the current scam we're running. Good luck in the coming New Year. We're gonna' need it!

  8. Why would capitalism be bad? What could be wrong with the selfish pursuit of vast amounts of wealth? It seems to working very well.....................for a select few.





    A number of studies have found that the distribution of income in the United States — most commonly measured by household or individual — has become increasingly unequal in the last three decades or so. In 2010, the top 20% of Americans earned 49.4% of the nation’s income, compared with the 3.4% earned by Americans living below the poverty line (roughly 15% of the population). This earnings ratio of 14.5 to 1 was an increase from the 13.6 to 1 ratio just two years earlier, and a significant rise from the historic low of 7.69 to 1 in 1968.[32]
