Hmm, I've heard this sentiment many times. My question would be, what method would you suggest we use to allocate resources and wealth? What society would we have to settle matters of law and public policy?<br />

The process of reallocating wealth and resources through entitlement programs is broken. This system needs to be scrapped and reset. SSI and Disability benefits being paid out to the truly sick and needy I support, but with any system there are flaws that can be taken advantage of. Stricter guidelines for entitlements, HARSH penalties for fraud, and ongoing reviews of cases for people that are not permanentally disabled. Just saw an interview with JZ of all people, and he hit it on the head. http://http://www.jayznews.com/2011/12/1...ll-street/
Pay more in taxes? Sure! Get me the Feds balance sheet and let me see where you're sticking my 18% currently, and if I approve, I'll give you more. Wish it worked like that. But when you loose your right to govern yourself (super pacs and the buying of our political system), the people that you'd like to see in charge will never get elected because of the corporate takeover. I would love to say that the breakdown of capitalism is needed, but if that happened, life as we know it would end. Capitalism needs to be fed so our economy can grow, if it dies, which it is bound to do eventually, the economy will die with it. You thought 12% unemployment was bad? Imagine 60%, with a completely worthless US dollar, and a bankrupt federal and state government. No UE benefits, no SSI, no food stamps, Medicare/Medicade, no way for you to make money, feed your kids, provide for your elderly parents. We as a species will revert to the animals we are. Humanity is nothing but a thin varnish over the top of our baser instincts. I for one hope capitalism has another good 70 years left to it so I won't have to deal with the fallout. One of the main reasons my wife and I choose not to have children.

Sorry, get a little wound up sometimes. And a little bored at work in the middle of the night
