: Capitalism sucks.. I think not Capitalism is great!
: It allows those with vision and ability to achieve all that they can.
hmm, apart from:

: Quit whining about the poor, the hungry, the homeless.

We are not whining - simply trying to defend their FREEDOMS too. or had it not occurred to you that freedom also means the freedom to live a decent and worthwhile life, to be entitled to the ability to earn a wage in the first place, a right which is denied the people you claim we are "whining" about in most capitalist countries.

: Fight poverty, Work!

that was also enlightened, see previous paragraph.

: Greed=Enlightened self interest

Nope, actually Socialism = enlightened self interest. We all help each other we get on better ourselves.

greed = stupid short term thinking.

None.
