What if we finally figured out we dont have to compete with each other.
If you dont like social programs then, Dont drive on the roads. Dont send your kids to school. Dont call the fire department. Dont call the police. Dont drink city water. Or flush your toilet in the city. And when you get your social security check, just send it back. Or you will become a communist sympathisizer. ![]() There is no reason at all for us to still be living under capitolism. It is failing, and hurting us all. Why on earth would you want to turn yourself into a slave so someone else can make a profit off of you ??? Do you like being a whore for the pimps ?

To say, as you did, that capitalism is failing, is a vast over-simplification. When government regulates business, and then business fails, it must be determined whether it was capitalism, or government regulation that failed. One simple example, if government taxes a business at a rate that makes it products unaffordable, who bears responsibility for the failure? Several years ago, the government thought that raising taxes on large yacht sales was a way to get money from a sector of the economy that re recession-proof. Instead, the increased taxes forced yacht buyers to buy overseas, and the US yacht industry collapsed. So did capitalism fail, or was it the government that caused the failure?

Fair enough. So how do you figure that we should pay into a system and not cash in on it? Now if you took off the payments to those systems you described, that might be one different scenario? Take SS for instance. Why won't I cash my SS check? I PAID into it. Sorry, your argument doesn't make sense. Communism doesn't work does it? What would Marx and Engels say if the knew that there were 350000 Millionaires in China? Lets not forget they have quite a few Billionaires. All started when they started to give up communism. If you don't like being the whore for the pimp, the answer is simple. Improve yourself so YOU are the pimp. It is in your own hands.
