Rebuttal to Maggie Thatcher's quote: The problem with socialism is

[Damansarajaya]

that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Uh huh . . .

And the problem with CAPITALISM is that eventually one person has all the money.

1. That's wrong, though...

Eventually TWO people have all the money:

9. The problem with Capitalism As Is is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Heavily regulate that shit, shore up your safety net, institute a truly progressive tax system, universal health care, make minimum wage a liveable wage and separate corporation from government and you have a different story.

10. The problem with Socialism is that a massive, ongoing, ubiquitous propaganda campaign

has been waged to slander it.

[Damansarajaya]

12. Yup, agreed. nt

16. Uh thats a rebuttal????

So you must play too much Monopoly in your basement. Capitalism, as you well know, has allowed more people to prosper than all previous systems of government.

17. Capitalism is not a form of government.........

it's an economic system.

[Damansarajaya]

18. No, I don't know that. What do you call Norway?

Or for that matter, modern Germany?

It a kind of capitalism . . . a very socialistic kind of capitalism.
