    I wonder how many people who are not really on board with capitalism is due to a survivor guilt type thing. They have never experienced any hardships, like real hardships not being able to afford a spendy purse doesn't count. Like needing to make your own cloths. 15k for a trailer as super spendy. skipping meals. They just really hop not to experience such things and want to support things that allow them never to have to experience such things.

    Without a doubt all these politicians in the big league have never lived in any such fashion. immigrants still see more to this country than its inhabitants trying to change shit.

    How many have truely been poor? what did u learn from it? and how did capitalism effect your thinking and life? Lets get some real life home examples of things.

    • why the fuck do you associate capitalism with being poor? it's about means of control, compensation for labor and power against privatizationcolin_s
    • it isn't about the poor not getting rich it's about the rich using various means of oppression and violence to keep things in their favorcolin_s
    • and it's about the fact we're all people and equal and if you think a system should be for creating inequality, then honestly, go fuck yourself.colin_s
    • Rich people don't care much about politics, other than taxes etc. True fanatics of captalism/libertaria... who really burn for the ideology, are all bumsdrgs
    • poor as a church mouse, A true fact, from which sociologists have yet to find an exception.drgs
    • libertarianism/capit... is a cargo cult, ie. if you pretend to be rich, behave the same way, have the same ideology as rich peopledrgs
    • and all the things that bums think rich people do, they think they will get closer to the source of money, so to speakdrgs
    • i associate it because I find those who have been poor and done well are more likely to be free market capitalists.deathboy
    • And the rich doesn't use any means to hold anyone down through capitalism. They do lobby to politicians which make rules to hold people down. But we never blamedeathboy
    • the politician or go after the regulations. Going after individual people and rules doenst work for a larger boogieman saledeathboy
    • and colin im all about equality. its why i support capitalism because it is the only system that holds individual rights equally.deathboy
    • im guessin colin you have never been poordeathboy
    • and drgs your points make no sense. or at least your perception of selfish relation and value of rich vs poor has different moral valuedeathboy
    • the rich as well as the poor want to hold unearned wealth as much as anyone else. Who turns down a free buffet?deathboy
