There are none so blind as those who cannot see. Marc and Ben my comments are general and are meant for EVERY country including mine not just the USA in particular. I view your comments as just as ignorant as you view mine. As stated earlier.... capitalism is aimed at keeping the rich richer whilst the poor get poorer. If you cannot grasp that simple philosophy then you have a lot to learn. It is estimated that in the UK 10% of the population own and control over 84% of the wealth. I would imagine a similar statistic applies in most other places. Now I am no mathematician BUT even I can work out that someone is making too much whilst others too little and something is drastically wrong with such a system. Now if you support that some folk have more wealth than they can possibly spend whilst others in other parts of the world struggle to even put food on the table and many starve to death then that is your problem. I see it as morally wrong. Ben you are right I have never lived in a truly free society but NEITHER HAVE YOU. If you think that we both live in a truly fair democratic country then you are very wrong. As stated before freedom only applies to those who can afford it. We tend to forget about those who cannot as long as we ourselves are alright. Hiding your head in the sand only perpetuates the problem....and plays right into the hands of the people who REALLY control our countries and the world.
Now it is not your fault you have been indoctrinated into a society that holds false values...you know no better.
