- This is so ludicrous it's laughable. Do you mean to suggest that if we
- eliminated capitalism, we would eliminate poor people? How many people
- are starving in all of the non-capitalistic societies throughout the
- world? Name one country in which there are no poor people. I see that
- the communnist (socialist, actually) pipe dream of "let's dole out
- everything equally to all for the good of society" was very successful
- in the "former" Soviet Union. Their productivity soared and all of the
- people were well-fed and just as happy as clams, right? It's only in the
- evil capitalist countries, led of course by the evil personified United
- States of America, that the existence of poor people is accepted as a fact
- of life. Sarcasm aside, I find it hard to believe that anyone could be
- naive enough to really believe the statement that you made.
