1894 and the ALCPTs strike again
funny thought i had while smoking (outside because the liberals use government to get rid of something that pissed them off)
we have all seen those "i love my country but fear my government" stickers, usually on the cars with "impeach bush" and other such lovely liberal stickers ( Read more... )

The rich like being rich, and they don't want poor people rising up because that would mean in fact that they couldn't have cheap labor any longer. Hence the reason the minimum wage in the US does not rise to the level it deserves to be at, and it stagnates at the level it is. The fact is, that people will donate money to groups to help poor people and donate things to charities so long as they don't have to acknowledge them in the flesh. They don't like seeing them or talking to them or having to interact with them, and by giving money its their penance for ignoring the fact that this really isn't helping these people it's just a band aid for the situation. They're dirty, they stink and they're scared of them.
I'd love to believe that Capitalism is a great system. But, it's a great concept. Just like Democracy, Anarchy and Communism. Theories are awesome ideas but in practice.. well.. they suck. Capitalism is full of corruption, bribery and back pocket ownership. If it was properly safe guarded to allow for a fair playing field (and I don't mean helping certain people succeed when their business is quite clearly a joke and in no way going to succeed on its own. Like we call it here.. Corporate Welfare.) by making sure that assholes can't lobby the hell out of Politicians to favor their practices regardless how legal it is or how unfair to workers it is.
I would love it if, we could just cut these people off and hope that most decent people would pull up their belt straps and do something to help these people. But again, like with all other good theories-its great a thought.
You're a smart person, and you have the right ideas-just insert that human factor in.. in all its corrupt goodness and it lets ya down far too often.

of course they want to stay rich, but that does NOT always have to be at someone else's expense, and even if it is, its not the rich person's fault that they failed, its their own.
i think very very few people would never donate a dime to charity. almost everyone i know has, i have for Christ's sake :P but my whole life ive seen people give, and thats while being taxed, imagine if they could just give as they wanted to. i cant help but think the world would be a much better place. and the cold hard truth is even if they didnt give, its not like the person ever did anything to deserve to get a free ride.

the issue with democracy, anarchy, and communism are inherent to the systems, and as far as communism goes has nothing to do with the idea being messed up by the people...the idea already is messed up. its scary man :P
the flaws in capitalism are human, and more importantly than that they are criminal. but if allowed to run its course they system cleans its self.
i think maybe i have presented myself as an anarcho-capitalism person...im not, i think they are morons, i am for pure capitalism, which does include the rule of law.
