As in...you have no idea.
Capitalism does work. The problem is that too many people have the power now to affect too many OTHER people.
The basic idea behidn capitalism is this (and it SHOULD sound familiar)...I do the work, then I get paid for the work. Period.
BUT, the government, and the coroporations now control so much of the flow of the income that it more like....I do the work, and I hope youll pay me enough to live on and maybe even enough to afford to breed.
In other words, they are trying to turn the system in a socialistic set. Where those in power control the resources.
I never did get why ANYONE would think Socialism is a viable alternative...

That's not capitalsim. Capitalism is: "I own the factory so you make the goods while I get the profits." DUH.

Except you know better. Thats NOT how it would work out.
It would be the state controlling the food, the water, the living conditions ect.
Ever been to a housing project? Would you want to live there? Thats socialism. Thats where it leads.

Nope, that would be Communism. Communism != Socialism. Good effort though, most people are ignorant of the differences for some reason.
