So where do you stand on this? Are you a hard core capitalist, socialist or somewhere inbetween?
We need a few improvements no?
Yes, capitalism has had a lot of benefits, and good things come out of it, but this has helped mainly older white men get rich... there's a big ass problem here.
The benefits have 'benefitted' very few people, that's your first problem.
The second is that these men all chat about what was this, and was that, but that was then and this is now. Definitions have changed, and not only that, the needs, and the wants of people have changed. We can see the fabric of society is bent out of shape, and capitalism is extremly flawed, which needs to be accepted by the powers that be (the rich), the Government (predominantly white men) and our leaders (many of which have vested interest in the system not changing).
Capitalism, although arguably beneficial in many ways, is not working, has created many more problems, treated people as commodoties *ahem, cough, again* and continues to fail more and more people as their is little regulation, more public assets sold off, less control in communities, and no fricking tax. So let's take a look at the YouTube video that sparked this post.
First off on this video, I like that three, older white guys are sat here telling us their views, because it shows so much of what is wrong. Chatting about people that have 'fallen', no no, they were very much pushed to the wayside, forcibly told no, or ignored completely.
Tax rates... uh huh Bill Gates... notorious for avoiding paying taxes. Tax the rich, then maybe things might be a little better.
Why is Buffet talking a about WW2? That does not relate to now, and looking back to WW2 is anything but innovative.
Unfortunately these people are interested in themselves, and of course want to fight for capitalism to stay as it is. It's disgusting. That's where I am!
