Capitalism Vs. Socialism (Page 8) Rabbits88: This is your excuse always.......in other words.......you make stuff up as you go along......lolololololol. what a true idiot you are Mr. David U. Dummy (D.U.D. for short). Rabbits88: The person making the claims is the one that is required to backup their claims with sources......proof positive.........You made the claims.......back it up fatman. All my claims in all threads are always backed up with links. None of yours are. davidk14: . Insults. That is all you are...one big insult to human kind. Time to grow up little man. . Capitalist Pig: uk right wing? lol please.........europe is falling apart because of socialism and so are we. i believe in social safety nets, but we have gone too far, europe is the perfect example of what can happen, comparing mao too reagan also a joke. cuarl: Again, the only reason they say "Euro crisis" and not Greek crisis is because of the stupid Euro currency. Most european countries still has economic growth while being socialists. Its not like socialism is something new in Europe. Its way older then Bush and someone said it was too late to blame him... Capitalist Pig: well, you may be right cuarl, im not an expert on europe, but i know our system is unsustainable the way it is without raising taxes through the roof, again-im not opposed to social safety nets-but we have to live within our means or we may end up like greece. we have been screwed over by the last few presidents-republican and democrat- each of them contributing to this huge debt-the current president has really dropped the ball. its pretty clear the government is not a good job creator or at managing money. it cracks me up all these democrats supporting the wall street protests when our current president has recieved more money from wall street than any president in history. as far as ecoonomic growth in europe goes-im pretty sure germany and france-especially germany -are carrying the load for the euro union, and they are excpected to grow at about 1 %-so the future is bleek for all of us in the western world.

I mean, even the most extreme forms of Communist economies were subject to world market fluctuations and pricing. Perhaps the two can be mixed. Whats UpDoc: good thought snerk.......that's exactly what countries like China/Hong Kong/Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand have done. And hence you see the results.......all economies booming. Capitalist Pig: hong kong was booming as a capitalistic society long before it was handed to the chinese, and despite its booming economy-which by the way is dependant on the capatalist u.s.-china still has a billion people living in poverty. i think the u.s. has the best mix already- a capatalist economy with social safety nets, which pay better than a lot of minimum wage jobs if you know how to work the system-which most welfare recipients do. also if we lived in china we wouldnt be having this interesting debate about sociallism would we-censorship.ill take capata;ism over socilism/communism any day-better for every one-even the poor Capitalist Pig: socialism is the philosophy of failure,the creed of ignorance,the gospel of envy,its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
