Answer 2

You are not going to be well received it appears because of your poor communication skills .

A balance between the role of the government and whats best for the people seems to be in order .

A natural resources tax might well be in order to provide states that have great resources to benefit its population whom without it would not be able to exploit . Coastal regions with fishing and oil resources might well pay a dividend to all the people of the state . Tax tourists and extra dollar here and their to pay for services and provide capital for expansion of industry that benefits growth in that sector .

We can and should do much more for the people who work hard to make this world a better place .

Pass a law that says no one is paid more then 20 times as much as the lowest paid worker part time or otherwise . This would lift all boats and not just some .
People who run fortune 500 companies do not do it for the money .
They do it for the glory and since money has become part of the package it is just another way to keep score . Would Bruce Willis go back to tending bar even if it paid $10,000,000. a year for 40 hours a week 2 weeks paid vacation and 10 sick days plus 4 holidays .
Not in a million years . Why is it baseball managers do not manage football teams .
Management is management right .

Wrong you have to know all the people involved and who to exploit and use to get the job done .

So years of experience in one type of management does not correlate with another type of business .

Except fortune 500 companies who's ceo's pedal influence and power .

Remember the list of billionaires is a short one of less then a couple thousand and the list of multi millionaires is just a handful of less then 100,000 people nation wide .

This leaves tens of millions of people earning just 40,000 a year .

I think anything we can do to make that income grow would be a good thing . So next time you hear about your state sellimg off its toll road ask yourself whats in it for you .

They are only covering the accounts and retirements of the state employees who are represented by a union . That is not a right in every state for its private employers .

Capitalism in it's purest form would requires free trade and a more global system rather than protecting any single countries businesses. It would eventually drive wages and prices both down, because of the global competition. It also doesn't take into account that people become unproductive because of age, physical disability, and other reasons.

Communism on the other hand doesn't take into account the greed of people at all. It requires idealistic views of humanity that right now we don't live up to. People think it is an authoritarian form of government instead of an economic form, because it is so easily corrupted by those who are at power. Communist government is basically prone to becoming endlessly bureaucratic and slow to respond. I've never seen any model that shows a great proposed government for communism that solves those problems though.

Answer 4

Capitalism and the free market used to work way back in the day when there used to be a thing known as "competition" that competitively drove prices down. Big corporations have wised up to it in a way that competition is a thing of the past.

Oil corporations all over the world don't compete with each other anymore. Representatives from each one of them all sit at one committee table to agree and formulate what type of excuse they'll use to drive the prices up.

For example:
A hurricane rips through the gulf coast and floods a couple oil refineries. Even though there were only two companies affected by the flooding, they ALL drive their prices up at the same time.

Citizens of Venezuela only pay 12¢ per gallon.
Go figure.

Answer 5

Ok then. Lets all be socialists and communists. That'll work out perfectly. NOT! Capitalism can't be that bad if millions of people are running across the border to live in the richest country in the world.

Answer 6

Capitalism on a small scale can work. In other words, it is devoid of corporate influence and favoritism on the part of the government. Otherwise it just works for the rich and powerful. Capitalism as we have it now can't be sustained however because it is destroying the planet because of the gross consumerism on such a large scale. We don't have the natural resources to provide billions of people on the planet with polluting cars, trucks, SUV's, energy hogging 5000 square foot McMansions, and cutting forests down to provide every baby on the planet with disposable diapers that end up in heaps in land fills. Capitalism is a very very inefficient system full of waste and mismanagement and irresponsibility if left as it is today. It has to evolve to a much more efficient and minimalist system of modest to low consumption otherwise we're all sunk or dead.
I'm not advocating Communism either. It is just as unrealistic and in it's form that the Soviets have, it wasn't true communism, it was a dictatorship. Communism works on a small scale as in communes that are made up of a small number of people such as on a Kibbutz in Israel. Communism is communal, obviously, relying on a community of people. Capitalism is individualistic, at times too much so. It relies too much on the greed of people. There needs to be something in the middle that also takes into consideration that we only have one planet and we have to be good stewards and take care of it in a responsible way. And, business doesn't always have the answers in a very responsible way, or efficient way (because it is more concerned with profits than efficiency) or in a timely manner.

Answer 7

Funny how everyone who ISN'T rich says capitalism doesn't work. It DOES work. Free markets and choice will always prevail.

I'd die to preserve it and I'm not even in the military. Start taking away our freedoms and liberties and you just may have a revolution on your hands. We did it once, we'll do it again.

Answer 8

A mixed economy actually exists, it's called a "mixed market system," Econ 101, and it is what the U.S. has. Your spelling is horrible. Capitilum sounds like a pill communist's take. We simply have capitalist tendencies which allows the "smaller" man to get a job, one of the many minor reasons why we are still in Iraq.

Answer 9

Capitalism works. Socialism has been a failure everywhere. Don’t believe me? Pick up a history book. Currently former socialist Euro states are reducing their corporate tax rates. Sweden is moving to a free market. Economics has proven that the less Gov’t intervention the better. Look up “price controls” and the reverse “ minimum wages”

If we want to see the real power of capitalism, we need to shed the marxist income tax and adopt the FairTax Act. H.R. 25 Frequently Asked Questions about the FairTax http://www.fairtax.org/fairtax/faqs.htm

Answer 10

The antithesis of capitalism is not necessarily Communism.
A balance between the two would be called 'social democracy'.... but what's in a name?

Answer 11

Our way of life seems to be doing a lot better than communism! Our country (USA) is a democracy, it's our society that's capitalistic. Communism is not only a way to govern it's also a way of life.
