: > With capitalism, one could rise to the top. With communism, one will stay

How can you compare the fallout from a government beuracracy and poor social structures to that of capitalism? Capitalism is Freedom. It is the drive for personal and econmic freedom.

: Most workers put in far more than they will ever get back. That is the
: definition of capitalism.
Are you crazy? Think about the founders of that business that you so condemn.

Good Point. We don't live in Utopia. As far as education, only the truely ignorant would dismiss the power of knowledge.

: The only right a worker has under capitalism is the right to choose
: a master. Once under the control of a boss, he or she no longer has
: any rights except those granted by the "superior". Workers are told
: when to show up, when to go home, and what to do in between. They are
: monitored, evaluated and disciplined. They are paid a small fraction
: of the value they produce for the boss. If they refuse the master's
: orders, they can be "fired" and the cycle begins again.
I think you should change jobs and watch Milton Freidman's series on Freedom of Choice. This can be found at your state library.
: Under this kind of near-total submission to authority, all talk of
: rights and freedoms is a cruel joke.
Alright, your right I think I will just go kill myself.
