We have different classes. The dependent welfare class is definintely lazy, and they are an enormous problem. But I think the people who work full time jobs are generally not lazy, and the reason behind our success is the class of people who are so obsessed with money that their entire lives are wrapped up in work. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
Yeah, but with each new generation brings the tradition of the previous. |

I totally agree. That disaster needs to be called off before it ruins the country. The thug element that has gotten so out of hand is to a major extent a result of lack of parental authority of welfare mothers who have a zillion kids and can't keep up with them enough, especially when the father is nowhere around because he knows the welfare will take care of the kids so he doesn't have to. Those kids grow up without consciences are are a nightmare. Welfare is also a huge strain on the economy and all kinds of other terrible things. |

The ability of the U.S. to absorb catastrophic effects is truly remarkable. I seriously doubt the U.S. will 'fall' in the near future, even given its many pressing problems, but it's hard to see the U.S. retaining its superpower status for very long. |
|
I would again argue that the U.S. has ALREADY fallen, and that there are two world powers at war with each other right now for control of the shell of what we once were. |

If not for all the political reasons, the money as well. Money talks, and without the money hungry private corps. in the States re-distributing the wealth into the American consumer, inflation will kill them. Then again, if they do that, they're losing a tonne of money. |

I'd expect we (The U.S.) will lose our superpower status soon, relinqueshing the title to China or India, the world's current emerging nations. |

Things are not as they seem
They will never be able to do it if they don't become more capitalistic. Because of their populations, they could outdo us if they become capitalistic enough. Russia could too. I would love for that to happen. I don't like my country being the world's only superpower. It incites too much resentment and anti-nationalism, which I think is just as sick of a prejudice as racism, sexism, and homophobia. I want the whole world to use free market on the level we do and become highly advanced, productive, and powerful. One of my dreams in life is to live to see such a world. I also will not be afraid of any of those countries if they become so successful. I don't fear highly capitalistic countries. They tend to be advanced and civilized. The less primitive a country is, the better it is for the world. |

That strikes me as a highly ignorant comment. |

Firstly, both Capitalism and Socialism create wealth, the only real theoretical deiffernce lies in the distribution of that wealth. |

Oh, nice. Always start off a debate with a flame comment. It will get you far. |

(@imran_p) I see that you don't really understand what capitalism is. If you are looking to the U.S. as a shining example of capitalism, you are sorely deluded. It's no different from looking to the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany as shining examples of pure socialism. |

What a bunch of garbage |

The Soviet Union's government had some good technology for a short time because the money they took from the citizens went into their space and arms races with the United States. That does not mean the country itself was well civilized. To the extent that it was, it was a result of the peoples' prior history of not being the Soviet Union. |
