Here is an argument for Socialism vs Capitalism.
Do you realize that without an incredible number of rules and regulations controlling your money and capitalism in the USA and globally, it would be literally possible for one person to acquire all of the property and wealth within a certain nation or even within our entire globe?
One might say at this point in the modern world that we are edging towards such an idea.
Today in the USA a small group of individuals and corporations own most of our Tech’ companies as well as our public airwaves for TV and Radio.
The American Pie is now owned by the favored few who can’t eat it because it’s too big for them!
The United States is a Capitalist country and many other countries around the world are also Capitalist countries and most countries that are referred to as being Socialist or even Communist, like China, operate on Capitalism as their financial system. European countries are actually very close to pure Capitalism, except that the government imposes certain taxations on income and property and other rules and regulations. It’s not that different over there, but the right-wing Corporate mouthpieces in the USA on AM Radio and Fox tell us we’re moving away from Capitalism, it’s the opposite! They just get paid $ to say that!
Today with modern corporations and a very complicated globe where speech and democracy are not always free, even in the most powerful countries, we actually have a situation where an individual or a specific corporation could become a national owner of a nation.
So my friends who are so fond of bragging about ‘Capitalism in the USA’ and hating the Democratic party because we want to have some controls on Capitalism, let me make my point clear here...
*When the favored few, own wealth great enough to support their progeny for thousands of years, and that wealth could be spent for the good of us all in medicine, science, housing, and security for the masses, NOW, then we have to say, come back here and put something back on the table. Leave something for the rest of us to consume. Let the world live!-
