Really? Is America too backward to run its own public health system?
...I know this was supposed to be an argument to the contrary, but it sums up the state of things pretty well.

Read the article, thought it was a lot of baseless weaseling. For a start, capitalism does not "employ" a lot of people, it UNemploys them. It doesn't "pay" them, it rips them off so that a very few can get immensely wealthy. It doesn't create products and services... people do. There is nothing in this article about capitalism that can't be done better without it. Except, of course, create a class of oligarchs. Capitalism is very good at that!
Now, defend the article point by point, rappy. If you can.

Spoken like a true disciple of communism, Sig. So blatantly wrong, on so many points.
Not ONE thing in that article can be done better w/ out capitalism. We know, it's been tried.
I don't have to defend anything, Sig. I already said it sums up my views. The article speaks for itself, and me.

Spoken like a true disciple of capitalism. Actually, if you want to see WHO is successful, it's the mixed economies of northern Europe and Germany, and the mixed economy of China. But, of course, that is a little too much reality for you. Your "views" are well-known, but do they have any basis in reality? Your views: worth listening to.

Love N. Euro socialist countries so much? Move there.
Think Germany's economy is so amazing ? Thank OUR military budget, which pretty much pays for their success.
Too much reality for you ?

Yanno rappy, I would LOVE to move there. Unfortunately, they won't let the old riff-raff in. 
As far as us paying for Germany's success... funny, that's what I've been saying all along... let's withdraw our troops from... pretty much everywhere. Worry about ourselves more. And how do you explain the 800-lb Chinese gorilla, the one you so conveniently forgot? Someone has got their head up their ass... still. And it ain't me!

How do I explain China ? You mean a nation that's surviving on the backs of so many working in near slave labor conditions ? I don't think China is in as great shape as some would have us believe.
As for closing over seas bases... I think there's a bit of middle ground that Ron Paul may have been able to carve out, between the far Left and far Right.
And knock off this ' head up your ass' nonsense. It's pretty damn immature, and doesn't advance your position very well, at all.

How do I explain Walmart/Apple/(insert name here)? You mean a corporation that's surviving on the backs of so many working in near slave labor conditions ? I don't think Walmart/Apple/(insert name here) is in as great shape as some would have us believe.
