Debate: Is a government absent of corruption possible?
Side: No

What don't you understand about this? Government helps with regulations where the costs of regulations are crippling smaller businesses, and allows larger businesses to merge or acquire. The scenario I proposed is something that can happen in almost any kind of market. Regulations are irrelevant.So, if I am wrong, then why don't homeless people have jobs? Is it because they lack any skills or talents that are above the minimum wage or because they were exploited with their previous employer of bad working conditions or maybe they moved from Central America to get out of there to come here because of our excellent minimum wage laws. The homeless exist because whatever skillsets they have are already used at maximum capacity in the area they reside. It's also possible that they have no skills, or their brains are addled and they cannot work in a normal environment.Where is your proof?It's an obvious fact. If you need proof, try shopping for a career in different parts of the nation and pay attention to how much the rate of pay fluctuates.Lack of labor in supply and demand. There is no infrastructure.No. There are no minimum wage laws.Actually, if you think about it for more than a minute it all makes sense. How can we, the USA, afford such opulent lifestyles? Does capitalism create wealth out of thin air? No. Resources are limited and so is money (or what it represents, anyway). Therefore capitalism must be shifting and redistributing wealth. It must follow that we can live this life of luxury because we can import products cheaply, and obtain cheap labour, from nearby countries that are poor and lack legislation that requires minimum pay, benefits, etc.In other words, we benefit at the expense of other nations. That's how capitalism works.You clearly no fucking clue who I am, and I have never made any conclusions on who you are.On can infer a lot from what you write.Anyone can see that workers in developing coutnries have no leverage of working conditions or income because the lack of basic education, which then means less skills and talent.South America, Central America and a number of the Asian countries we obtain cheap labour from all have universities, schools, etc.They have no labour laws. They are like modern-day slaves to us, the wealthy. We stand on their backs to obtain success, or more accurately we support the companies who stand on their backs by investing in their products.Why do you think a doctor makes more money than a janitor?Two Reasons:Supply and DemandMore Education and Skills, which are due in part to supply and demand.You know, you really should TRY talking to these people. They aren't all janitors, or taxi drivers, you know. In Bangledesh, Malaysia, El Salvador, Mexico, Brasil, Chile, etc. they are real life people like you and I, with the full spectrum of jobs and businesses and schools. The difference between you and them? Whatever job we have here pays between four and ten times the annual salary for the same work. This is capitalism creating poverty.That was under war. Mao Zedong's genocide was under peacetime. As for Nazi Germany, they were hardly Democratic.Nazi Germany came about via democracy. Also, wartime versus peacetime doesn't change anything. We annihilated tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and then tens of thousands more died from fallout-related disease.But hey, you're forgetting all the death squads that capitalist democracies fund. What about the arms trade we fund and buy into? How about the diamond trade and slavery that we support by dealing with African diamonds?
