The concept is good. The execution is bad.

The biggest issue is that 99% of people are not "go-getters" and those same people are complainers with all of the answers. :manny:

I think there should be measures put into place to ensure a more balanced and fair distribution of wealth/resources. There shouldn't be a "top 1%" or even 10% whose wealth surpasses the combined income of those at poverty level; and then you have those who live in poverty that can't even afford the basic necessities.

The idea that America is a "first world country" is false when you have the majority of the country living in third world conditions.

There are negative and positives to everything. But capitalism is the greatest hope for economic prosperity.
Even a socialist country like China practices capitalism.
Capitalism drives innovation. Freedom of choice for the consumer means that some producers will win and some will lose. Tough shyt. The consumer wins.
Freedom to enter markets, raise capital and conduct commerce uninhibited :obama:
nikkas would cry bloody murder if they were forced to live under socialism
But writing think pieces is cute

Heavily capitalistic societies are just as flawed as heavily socialistic ones. Mixed economies leaning towards socialism with democratic socialist policies is the way to go.
Don't know why nikkas assume we can only have one or the other, America is not a 100% capitalistic society that would be impossible.

Its amazing.


Young brehs out here buying homes and pushing foreigns from their own businesses


Wealth being created for generations to come.

Also, you could just hop in and play the game whenever you want

Like you could start a business right now and no one would stop you.

Capitlism is great.

But I don't think it should stretch to places like medical care or education

Medical Care & education shouldn't be sold for a profit but I support everybody else playing the game of capitalism to the best of their ability and trying to make as much money as possible
