However, in order to implement any of the suggestions regarding education, investing tax on natural resources, government ownership of utilities, we'll possibly have to wait until Rupert Murdoch is dead and the dominant paradigm around thses issues shifts.
USA was created to throw off the yoke of overbearing rule, and allow citizens the freedom, the choice, and until recently the option of how to live their lives. Government forced and rationed healthcare is the opposite of all this.

Back to the OP topic.
As mentioned in another thread, libtards despise any type of Freedom.
When Republicans (and the preceding Whigs) fought hard to Emancipate (free) the Slaves, libtards and other Democraps fount tooth and nail against it.
When the Republicans fought hard to give Blacks the freedoms to own lands, businesses, and vote, the libtards and other Democraps fought tooth and nail against it.
When the Republicans fought hard to give women the freedom to vote, the libtards and other Democraps fought tooth and nail against it.
When the Republicans fought hard for Civil Rights, the libtardsa nd Democraps fought tooth and nail against it.
The hallmark of the libtard is their complete opposition to FREE market and FREE enterprise, which they know must be quashed under the oppressive thumb of big-government communism and crony capitalism.
The OP tries to paint a picture of capitalism thriving in a vacuum, without FREE market or FREE enterprise. The current exception is Obamacare, of course. Other than that, the FREE market consumer may choose to purchase the product, OR NOT. The "or nots" work against the capitalist's profit calculations, and may render the FREE enterprise unprofitable. Some people may enjoy RJReynolds products. Some may not. Some may think they should be banned. Some may choose not to own stock in the company. Some of the biggest libtard hypocrites in history have made gobs of money off RJR stock while decrying anybody else doing the same.
The FREE market determines whether the FREE enterprise will be a profitable venture into capitalism, regardless of it's ethical position. If enough consumers do not believe the ethical position is distasteful, they can make the enterprise successful. If enough consumers are appalled by the ethical position, the enterprise can fail.

Your understanding of history and especially economics is most amusing. Not everything you state is wrong, but what IS wrong makes you seem very sweet & child-like. Wow, if ONLY it all really did work like that... *sigh*
Sorry, try again. This has been debunked. Once again, you are demonstrably in error, and ensconced in the endless anti-whom-you-hate bullshit. Feel free to go on, and prove yourself more the idiot than you have already (Heh, if that's even possible at this point).
You proved me right here.
Thanks.

"without changing our system to where government gets involved in owing and running profit gaining businesses"
That was not MY suggestion. When you can reply to what I posted (instead of the voices in your head) maybe we can have a discussion. Otherwise, I'll treat your posts on this topic as spam.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

I really do wonder what passes for a brain in it.

Why look at China and India 1kiki when they are both playing catch up with us. When both had to abandon what they were doing and adapt our approach to business. You should remember that both did the same thing in attracting business. They gave state assisted Education to many of its citizens while we have to incur large debts to educate ourselves, thus our need to demand higher wages. That along with state assisted medical which is a big burden to business in this country. Other than that it is us that built up their countries by moving our jobs there.Quote:

The biggest point you are apparently unable to take away from the story is that “Quality of Life: India vs. China” is that what’s behind improving conditions in both countries is their enhanced practice of capitalism.
Because it is a distraction from the point and wants to suggest that we should think more like the Chinese and or India because they are becoming more successful and or have better philosophies. Ignoring the fact that they are climbing out of the gutter by riding on our backs, along with Europe. They are doing well because much of our economy (jobs)shifted to those countries. (cheep labor)
When Thomas Freedman asked some India officials what is the United States supposed to do with all it's jobs migrating to India? They responded by saying the United States should do what it always does. Create the jobs of the future.

Amazing. This is your second post in this thread where you've attributed a post to me which you yourself posted. Why am I not surprised that the only points you can TRY to make are by lying?

I think its because all other systems have failed, unless you count China's current growth as success....ain't that a nightmare from Joss, how the USA and China form the perfect alliance into one universal global government?
