Reply #16: you are my kind of guy

I really like your post.
Your way above the average DU....near the top in fact.

Your discussion intrigues me...but theory like this at this point in US history won't save the masses.
We'll have to point out the obvious before we proceed to calculus.

I think back to my dad and the way he talks about the great depression.
It's all about basic fairness.

People on their own accord don't rally for fairness.
This is part of the psyche of many admirable people....but not when it comes to putting dinner on the table.

It is the system of government which makes us what we are.
Take the population here in the US....raise them under the conditions of USSR over the same number of years...and you get the same result.

We are under the system.
Either we make the system work for US....or else the system will fail us.

The capitalistic theory holds that we can be efficient....and provide for the people...and this is generally true as compared to pathetic socialistic or communistic systems of the past.

But we're now in the new millenium...let's get past ancient history.
Let's try and come to grips with what it will actually take to make capitalism work for the people.

Is there any other reason we're here on planet earth.
Or is it to put the control of the planet in the hands of the few that simply happened to inherit it?
