Do you think capitialism really works?

Question

If so, do you think it will continue to work or the future will need change?

Answer 1

Wait a minute, is this a greedy question?

If yes, well congratulation you’re the ton 10% most fu**en greedy people of this nation.

If no, well obviously the question is stupid.

Answer 2

Obviously capitalism works. Now whether it will continue to work in the future depends on whether the government will stop throwing so many roadblocks up in front of companies to prevent them from being successful. For some reason being successful has become evil for many Americans.

Answer 3

Only in a moral society and never in conjunction with socialism.

Answer 4

obviously yes

yes, it will continue to work

if change is needed then it will happen - that is the beauty of the free market

Answer 5

We'll just have to wait and see.  Remember, the price of gas is mostly market driven which is a part of capitalism.  Capitalism seems to be working well for China in that they are making huge amounts of money.  Unfortunately a totally free market is open to abuses such as the horrid pollution problems now evident in China and other less restrictive countries.

Also, if capitalism works well why are we giving corporate welfare to so many areas of the market; ie:  rich farmers, Big Oil, car manufacturers etc?

The flip side of total capitalism is the degradation of the people who just don't have the brains or other advantages of profiting in a capitalist society.

I would wonder how Bush would have floundered if he had been born poor.  My estimation is that he would be on the street drinking from a brown bag trying to figure how to get his next hit of crack.
