If you redistribute wealth too much, the business owners quit caring about even having businesses, and then things suck for everybody. That is why socialism is history's failure story and capitalism is history's success story.

Our "poor" aren't really poor. Tons of them are fat, and pretty much all of them have cars, cell phones, and entertainment systems. Do you know why our "poor" are so rich? Because of capitalism.

The reason our poor are "so rich" is because of the money they can get from welfare. That money comes from the rich, who got their money by exploiting the workers across the world! And socialism isn't histories greatest failure.

For example, look at http://www.cubatruth.org/

Also remember that the Soviet Union's economy expanded rapidly under Stalin! How did Russia become a super power in just a matter of decades, when it had been so pathetically poor before, if socialism didn't work?

Also, which country sent the first satellite to space and the first man and woman to space?

Also, if it wasn't for Russia, then how do you think world war 2 would have ended?

Stop pretending that socialism doesn't work. The Soviet Union fell because traitors came to power and made the government revisionist. The same thing happened in China.

Its easy for you to say that capitalism works, but how well is it doing in Latin America, Africa, and Asia?
