A capitilist societs is better then a socialist one

Basically most of your argument reviles around fairness and failure. Banks doing dumb things, Sweden etc. Here's the beauty of a capitalist society, if you fail it is still possible for rising. If you fail in a socialist society the government turns around and helps you. That sounds good at first, but until you find out the government is incompetent in doing that task. "One cannot simply protect such family owned businesses from all large corporations" That means you are arguing against yourself because that is one of the ideas that is proposed in socialism, protection. Also capitalism makes wealth, so you saying big corporations kill of small business, then that's business. I wish that never happened, never ever, but socialism is not the answer. Since I believe in free markets then the government can only prevent monopolies in my opinion, they should not do anything else. Under the system that you are arguing the government owns it all. The government usually doesn't pass bills that are economically sound, and are inefficient. So do you want incompetent bureaucrats that work ineffeciantly choosing how an economy works? "There are two ways to keep costs down of an item in a capitalist society with the same number of workers, one is invest enough available resources to increase productivity, the other is too use less safe materials and lower working standards to maximize profit." Link source? Also you need to add in competition. And Milton freedman shows you the benefits of my system=stem, and disproves yours. "This exemplifies how greed for profit can go too far in a capitalist society " This is what I am talking about. The people in wall street earned their money, the protesters want the money without working. That's like me getting a Ferrari for free. The protesters are MOOCHERS! Like in atlas shrugged. These socialists want to get money like the rich without the work. That IS NOT FAIR. I believe if you want something that you need to work for it, not get a free ride like socialism advocates. "Remember when global warming reports were at its zenith? Oil companies and Coal companies paid thousands of dollars to try to show that they were making an honest buck and in some cases paid scientists to denounce global warming to protect the slandering of their image. Capitalistic countries will always house companies that will go to extreme lengths not only to maximize profit, but to defend their revenue if they feel it is threatened." Good! That case is people showing there opinion, that's like saying that I cannot pay someone to advocate my belief's, even if it is for personal gain. Once again, capitalism means you work hard, or in this case defend your self, to get money, or don't try and be a worthless lump. You still don't deny the fact that is there is income equality is leads to more miss happenings. If I'm a doctor and the hobo that just sits there and he gets paid as much as me then I will work less. Why work hard if there is no gain? "Capitalism can drive economies into huge recessions" If you look at it, people in this recession are still richer then any one country. So capitalism does make downturns, well not by itself, but even in a downturn you are still richer then other people. Socialism is even worse then this. North Korea is a communist/socialist state, and they experience famines and all sorts of things. They are 4 inches shorter to their capitalist brothers to the south, and they have the same diet. Have you heard of the Nazi Socialist Party? They killed millions of people, so socialism makes ad economy's and helps evil people take control and abuse the power. "But wait, what about China? Last I checked they were super communist and they are rumored to match the US economy in a matter of years now." It is not super communist anymore, they have differences. They are communists but are weakening their hold. The allow entrepreneur ship and certain small business. And even if they didnt they may be pretty well off, why? 1 billion people in a workforce is HUGE. For a Communist country, China is not without capitalist luxuries. How communist is China, really?Not very. Since the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1976, China has all but abandoned the tenets of classical Marxism, including collective ownership of the means of production. (1) Nowadays, just about everything is at least partly privatized. (1) Politically speaking they are communist, and they still own the banks, but they prosper because of the allowed capitalist ways, and the allowance of private entrepreneur ship. They do this in 2 ways, 1 say if you come here we will treat you like it's your business, and 2 have a worthless currency, so company's all swarm and flock there. So their GDP grows not because of communism, but because of those 2 things. "In a socialist economy, the government owns most of your belongings. That is very true but they are still yours aren't they?" Um yes and no. In socialism you succeed many of your right, you dont have a constitution anymore to say hey government stop. So if they wanted to take it away to pay a debt they could. So it is yours to use, their to take. Any government that is capable of giving you everything you need is also powerful enough to take away everything you have. In socialist countries, you may be given so much food a day, blankets, etc. However, in socialist countries, you often find leaders that are omnipotent and will take over everything if you’re not careful. Let me re-state that-even if you are careful, they will take over. (2) You talk about Africa, and you put bad political systems, not most countries in Africa are socialist or totalitarian. Case closed, and the civil war is also made people vs totalitarian or socialist state. Case closed. "Capitalism does not bring out greed in companies or people, it can bring out the greed in a country or even an entire continent to occupy another continent." Do you have any proof on this? If so show a SCOURCE! "In some cases doctors are paid as much as cashiers, this is to prevent a disparity in income between classes of society," So heres what you are saying here, You save lives heres 10,000 bucks, hey you say 'your change is .75 cents ma'am' so heres 10,00o bucks. Does that sound fair! I will quote one of my sources: You can work your rear end of in a field and make 10 thousand pounds of cotton in a year, and some dude that is a failure at life makes nothing, but you each get paid 5,000 dollars a year. Is that fair? I think not! And that is most certainly not perfect. (2) Germany is in fact the largest economy via Europe. Call, they are not socialist. They work hard for their pay. YOU TALK ABOUT THE BAILOUTS, THAT IS THE GOVERMENTS CASH NOT THE ECONOMY. Whoops caps, I don't feel like fixing it now. Also there is another reason for Germany's success, under the Nazi rule Hitler made bonds with BMW Mercedes, and Audi or Volkswagen. So even though under his rule they didnt do as well as ford, now they are still in germany and face freer markets then an average place and flourish. Also your other list shows countries that are always poor. Like Haiti, it isn't that reason they are poor, and Switzerland has a great economy for its size, so there you help me, Columbia has drug wars which affect it, and Brazil is rich too. Botswana is in africa, so that is invalid Nambai doens work either. Bolivia is doing pretty ok last time i checked. Centeral african republic... We staed other reasons for africas problems, so still invalid. "capitalism leads to a lot of income inequality" True, you are rewarded for your success.
