socialist and here are my reasons. They want to take away my right to earn whatever i can just so that their hearts feel better. If i want to donate money, give me the freedom to do so

Neither and both. Whomever is driven by the acquisition of wealth is greedy. I would say Mexicans who come to this country to have their children are not 'greedy'. It is our moral duty as a Christian nation to assist these poor women. The Deacon at the church who also is a small business owner and rents a few properties out, he is most likely greedy. The guy that lays around all day and collects assistance? Greedy. The Bible tells us it is better to work than to beg, so we can help those who are poor.
Capitalism is a much of a blight on humanity and a sin as laziness and covetous are.

The question must be like this: both capitalist and socialist are greedy, but with who you will live more comfortable?

Who said that a socialist would need services if he was paid properly by the capitalist who would have only what he produced with his own two hands . Not all that much I would venture to say .So exploiting the socialists leaves him vulnerable to the capitalist ,who may or may not provide services .

Considering myself a combination of capitalist and socialist, I think most socialists want the less fortunate in society helped and certain services in return for the taxes they pay. Under republicans or democrats middle income working people pay a lot of taxes but with republicans the money goes for weaponry and the highest deficit in our history while with dems some of the tax money benefits society as a whole. Clinton left office with a budget surplus which Bush gave to the top 5% wealthiest individuals and corporations.

We professional liberal reporters have the feeling that the capitalists are stingily hoarding their own hard earned money because they are haters. Help us get it from the kids. We need it more than they do.

The Socialist. The Capitalist EARNS the money. If he earns more then his share so what? The Socilist wants everyone to get the same share basically. They don't earn it. They just want it anyway.

Both are greedy, but I believe you should work hard for things. You will appreciate what you have more when you worked so hard for it.

In the words of these brilliant people, you will find your answer.
