You talk about how the Wealth is uneven in it's distrubition. You don't quite have a handle on it. We have a 13.5 Trillion Dollar Debt to prove there is plenty of "Wealth" Distrubtion.

By the way, when my Ancesters came to the New World, before the Revolution by the way, there was no big social network to catch them if they failed. They just had to suck it up and try harder. So your comment about un even wealth distrubtion holds no water with me. I'm still about personal responsibility.

Ain't this fun!


Please don't waste your time trying to convince someone who has lived in a socialist country all their life to understand Capitalism.

People don't starve to death here, unless they are neglected children. That's the parent's fault. The Nazis starved people to death in concentration camps. I would like to see some credible stats of people who die in the US from starvation. People here, claim to be starving when they can't afford to buy nachos at the convenience store. Food is available everywhere. So is medical care. It is all mandated by local, state, and federal government.

Anyone who makes a living with no employer is a capitalist. I'm a capitalist, and make very little money. I will never give a portion of my meager earnings to someone else if forced to by the Government to do so. I will volunteer to help the more needy first.

I know the UK is talking about large companies with billions of dollars (BP anyone?), and large families (Like the Kennedy's).

I guess I could hire a lawyer and sue BP because I live on the gulf coast and my business has gone down this year, but I won't, because I have dignity.

I'll get by from the sweat of my brow.

Thank's for the advice from the UK, but, no thanks.
