  It's silly to argue one vs. the other, like the only choices are communism or pure unregulated capitalism. Go all the way to the capitalist, unregulated side and you end up with something like modern day China, where the lower class is working in dismal conditions with no worker protections and many of the products could poison or kill you because there is no regulation. That kind of society sounds great if you are one of the ultra rich, but hell for just about everyone else. In fact, it would be more difficult for someone at the bottom, slaving away in a factory, to start a business, innovate and rise to the top. Things like health care and progressive taxation are to the benefit of a more innovative society IMO, because they give people a leg up to achieve greater things with their life.
