"Capitalism: A Love Story"...Michael Moore's latest film.

RE: "Capitalism: A Love Story"...Michael Moore's latest film.
Adrian and I have basically the same views. He seems to project them more diplomatically than I do. Rhizomorph, how you choose to spend your money is your business. If it makes you happy then spend every dime. Just as long as you don't put a strain on the taxpayers in doing so. I've noticed a few things. Younger people love socialism. Younger people usually have less money or no money, no health insurance, and are paying for school with their Mc job. Why wouldn't they support socialism? They have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Older people seem to support capitalism. Once you have acquired some wealth and actually realized how the money cycle works then socialism just doesn't make sense. Most people get pissed at the thought of supporting someone who isn't their responsibility in the first place. I'm sure many of you will realize why capitalism works and how it's important for us to have corporations, small businesses, and mid size businesses once you actually find a career, get a home, have kids, or even try to start your own business. A free market works and in a free market the consumer controls the prices. When something is selling and prices are jacked up due to demand someone else can come out with the same product but with a different name and patent and drive the prices down again. Regulating a system like that would be financial suicide.
