Not true. Democracy has.Capitalism has produced a hell of a lot more for man kind in a positive way then any socialist ever has or will.
You go to a four-year college, take out a fat loan to pay for it, and learn a specialized-in-demand skill.
You get laid off because said skill became obsolete inside of 10 years.
You're back in college to take out a new loan to learn a new skill in the next in-demand industry which is looking to hire fewer workers than the previous industry.
* Said skill becomes obsolete inside of 5 years.
Rinse, repeat. Now you're out on the unemployment line in 2 years.
Exactly how is this going to benefit the working class which corporate America relies on to consume their goods and services...?
* We're at that point now.

Ever heard of musical chairs? There's 3 chairs and 10 of you. If all 10 of you did exactly what you did, how many will be without a job?Make better choices, do better work and adapt. I was a programmer for a fortune 500 company for over 15 years and learned everything I learned about programming on my own time with self-study. In the meantime, I learned other skills and when it became obvious that my expertise wasn't going to be necessary forever, I got out, bought a home outright with cash that I saved and started up my business doing what I'd been practicing on for over 6 years. I work at home... work my own hours... own my home and land outright, have zero debt including credit cards and still earn better than median income with health insurance being the only significant bill in my life. And I did this starting out from a broken home, with a Cuban father, an abusive mom after dropping out of highshool 3/4 of the way through my junior year to join the Army three weeks after I turned 17.
This week, I made about 2200 dollars and next week, I'll probably spend most of my time fishing because I'm not interested in earning enough for a bunch of greedy socialist bastards to skim half of what I make in order to send welfare checks to people who would rather eat dirt than do an honest day's work. I worked my ass off for 36 years already and now I look back and realize that if I had gone the easy route, instead of working two jobs for long periods of time, working and studying for long periods of time and taking chances to do work I wasn't getting paid very well to do, I still wouldn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
People need to realize that their security is in the hands of the man in the mirror and no one else. Your financial future is your responsibility. Pay now or pay later. Trust me, it's easier to pay when you're young.
Sorry you failed life, dude - the right to vote and determine the laws that one lived under, was what kept Capitalism from reverting to a network of monopolies and company towns - you know, like the middle ages.And what democracy was that? Sorry you failed history - Capitalism has done far more for people then any socialist has; as usually the socialist missed the point.
Well said.The sad part of it in the USA is that there is socialism for the rich and the poor and predatory capitalism for the working and middle class. And one should never forget it is not the average-type American that own the likes of ABC, ABC, CBS or CNN. If you think your views will be considered all that much from the mainstream media you need to catch up on your Bernays or Chomsky.

If you are only earning $2200 a week then your skill isn't all that unique. But then you also said you don't want to make enough to be heavily taxed, which shows you are either not as unique as you believe you are, or you're just behaving foolishly. I for one do a hell of a lot more than $2200 a week and unlike you I didn't let fear of evil socialists stop me from pursuing my potential.What you seem to be unable to comprehend is that I made my own chair. In fact, what I do now is so unique that there aren't a dozen guys in the entire world doing it full time and maybe 20 doing it part time (if that). And when I started doing it, there was only one other guy in the whole world doing it. It is entirely possible for people to create their own opportunities. The problem with socialists is that they keep thinking it's all about being "given" something. Being given money, or an opportunity or a job or government assistance or free career training.... The secret to success in life isn't standing in a line with other losers holding your hand out waiting for someone to give you something. That's the secret to panhandling, but it's not the secret to success.
Not when there aren't even enough jobs to go around.That's the story of someone who can't plan worth a crap.

As for creating your own chair, I will invite you to think about the consequences of 16 million people starting their own businesses and trying to get that to take off. In a country where the working class has less and less money to spend.

Lots of people were killed in the name of Capitalism. Remember Pinkerton? It was Democracy that put an end to that. Please show your ignorance of history and claim I'm wrong on that.

You do realize that you've quoted a salary described as "the one percent," right? I mean....I hope your "skills" include basic freakin' math.If you are only earning $2200 a week then your skill isn't all that unique.
If you make more than $2,200 a week, then I'm the Pope.I for one do a hell of a lot more than $2200 a week and unlike you I didn't let fear of evil socialists stop me from pursuing my potential.
If you can't make it in life with $114,000 (your quoted salary), you absolutely...positively suck at life, and you should go live as a hermit.In a country where the working class has less and less money to spend.
I played my cards and did a lot better than what you're saying. And unlike you I'm not afraid to keep doing well just because some scary socialists might take some of my money through taxes.No, the thing is that what I do is an artisan trade and I do it for a niche market. I actually make things with my hands. I set things up so I don't need to make six figures any more. That means I don't have to work as hard as I used to. If you play your cards right, maybe you can do that, too. That's the beauty of capitalism. You are free to do what you want and all you have to do is accept responsibility for the consequences.
So we add 16 million new businesses to those 21 million existing businesses. Thereby nearly DOUBLING their number. I can't imagine you know how many new businesses fail every year, do you?16 Million, huh? There are currently 21 million "non-employer firms" in the USA. Statistics about Business Size (including Small Business) from the U.S. Census Bureau There are countless ways to go out and earn a living and becoming a 9-5'er for some company or corporation is only one of the options.
Then you can feel free to stop giving your simple-minded advice and declare victory.You know what I've come to find after years of talking to people about this.... losers always have an prepared excuse for why there's nothing they can do to better themselves. There's no advice you can give them that they don't reject offhand because every sensible thing you tell them takes work and/or risk and they don't want any part of either one of those two things.

Just about any big company CEO makes more than that.You do realize that you've quoted a salary described as "the one percent," right? I mean....I hope your "skills" include basic freakin' math.
Because you consistently dislike what I have to say, I have to be poor.If you make more than $2,200 a week, then I'm the Pope.
I agree with that. But if you limit yourself to that out of fear of the evil socialist tax system then you are an idiot.If you can't make it in life with $114,000 (your quoted salary), you absolutely...positively suck at life, and you should go live as a hermit.
