Communism does not work.

I reckon that capitalism, at first glance, might look like the better economic system. But I believe it is key we mention the uglier side of capitalism, being the exploitation of cheap workforce, the millions being enslaved to produce your products. Multinational corporations, in their never ending quest for profits are employing a business strategy based on cheap production and resale at a much higher price. Giving the hardworking foreigners, inhumane working conditions and extremely low wages for long hours of work. It is even estimated that a quarter of a BILLION children (5 - 14 years old) are being forced to work in sweatshops around the world. As Pro said it 'Capitalism is the system of Laisser-Faire'. Indeed, it is, but laisser-faire leads to prosperity and wealth for some but undoubtedly leads to exploitation and misery for others. Moreover, Pro mentioned something that I found rather interesting, '. .. this is the beauty of Capitalism . Wherever you come from you have a chance for a better life. ' Currently, in the United States, the richest 1% of Americans, made almost 20% of all the available income in the country. And the beauty of capitalism means, that they could easily have an influence in politics and they have used that influence : They've managed to cut Income Tax for the richest in HALF (From the 70's) Capitalism means that money is the driving force behind everything, but bad policies ensues, our elected officials make decisions that benefits the few. A study by PewResearch shows that the wealth gap between an upper-class family and a middle class family of four is about $88 000. It has also has proven that 60% of Americans believe that the economic system favors the wealthy. We're living in a time were the wealth gap is larger than in the past 30 years. And undoubtedly, the gap will continue to widen. Capitalism is not a system where everyone succeeds, it is a system controlled by the wealthy for the wealthy. In sharp contrast with communism, where there is pronounced belief in equality, the median wealth of white households in America is 13 times higher than that of black households which leads me to advise pro to reconsider '. .. Capitalism is based on the idea that you should be allowed to make money regardless of your background' It goes without saying that capitalism is not a system that promotes equality. Furthermore, pro is arguing that welfare 'destroys the incentive of the lower classes to work'. The minimum wage in America is currently $7.95 per hour, this barely allows to make end's meet. Incredibly enough, lower classes are better off on welfare than on the petty minimum wage. I will close my argument with two points that follows as such : - What really is capitalism ? Capitalism is the exploitation of the poorest to provide for the richest. It is the unregulated system of obedience to wealth. It's the inhumane system that relies on low wages and high prices to enrich the wealthy, not a system that works for all. What is the explanation for starving families in the richest country in the world? A report cited that Chief Executives made 774 times the minimum wage. And most of them have regularly opposed raising their employees minimum wage. What kind of malevolent system allows the employer to make 774 times the salary of the employee? - On the other hand, what really is communism ? Communism is the belief that the wealth of the nation should not be owned by a few and their offspring. It's the belief that everyone should have access to humanity's most basic needs. Education, as well as post-secondary education, healthcare and housing were free of charge in the Soviet Union. It's the belief that, as guaranteed in the Soviet constitution, employment is a right not a privilege.
