Neruo, I am out of money right now because I have seen no reason to work hard. If you have any money, I want half of it because I am entitled to my fair share. No, I don't feel like working hard instead. Why should I? What's in it for me?
Seriously, when will you send me my check?
By the way, I am flattered by your obsession with my country.
Practically nobody is going to work hard if there is no strong incentive to do so. Greed is a deeply rooted part of human nature, and it is never going to go away. It is too much of an evolutionary advantage to ever die out. It is what gets things done. In communism, there is nothing, except fear if anything, that will make things happen. The United States is the most successful country in the world because of our capitalism. Nobody's communism or any other type of government has outdones us in business. Even our homeless people are fat. I'm totally serious. I don't say that with arrogance. I very much want the whole world to have our type of government. It would be awesome. If half of Europe starts kicking our asses in business, it will make me cry with happiness. I want the whole world to be capitalist. And the United States would be much better off if we were even more capitalistic. We need to extend it much more to the tax code and much more to the school system. Our public school system sucks while our private school system is incredible. That is no coincidence. The public schools lack the element of competition, so they suck. The same is true about communism. There is a reason the restaurants in the Soviet Union usually didn't have most of the items on the menues. Go figure.
