Well, when you say it like that.
Seriously, you have to make a choice; free market capitalism or Socialism.
Having made that choice, and reviewing the .long term results of both, no sane person would conclude that socialism provides a better standard of living or more opportunit
y than free market capitalism
. Capitalism always has resulted in underclass
es of people at the low end of the ladder, and many who, generation
ally, climb up; through education, through individual achievemen
t, whether through entreprene
urship, or being promoted in a career choice, or both. There is no other system which provides more choices, or more opportunit
ies.
Some people make bad choices; that's on them. Yet, in America over 1.6 million nonprofits try to help through outreach programs for education, housing, health care, job help, clothing and more, so the free market's brand of "socialism
" is at work.
It's the ones who don't try, who don't get educated, who hurt the rest through defeatism and lack of personal responsibi
lity. There will always be folks who, knowing that there is a system which will rescue them, will take advantage. They would not make those same choices in countries which allow people to suffer the consequenc
es of their decisions.
I do agree that both Conservati
ves and Liberals have made REALLY BAD choices for our country in the last generation
.
That's why I'm hopeful that Independen
ts will get organized, field local and national candidates
, and get America turned around.
