obviously things like the market and social services need to be regulated, its been proven that capitalism cannot stand on its own due to the nature of corporate greed.

maybe if people would realize corporations dont need massive tax cuts and that using their tax dollars to fund social programs would be a good thing....then again, most people dont care that 30 million americans are homeless.

You need to realize that those "30 million" homeless are not all victims of circumstance. People should work and not get to live off the system without any guidleines to get a job or have it cut off.

You proved by that post you are a Socialist.

im not saying that everyone deserves social services. what about the 30 million working poor? do they deserve to barely survive while billions of dollars remain in the hands of the elite?

im sure you'd be a little more empathetic to the needs of others if you were actually in need, or had some experience helping people less fortunate than yourself.

we could all benefit from some lessons in humility. there is no such thing as equality, the best thing we can strive for is equity.

[Kratos]

what 30 million homeless?

it's 3.5 million homeless at some time in their life, 3/4 of a million at any one time. get it right morph, you're a mod for god sake. It's a very small % of the population, and often due to substance abuse or mental illness.

you have them too, and if I were homeless canada is about the last place I'd want to be right next to siberia.

the number is much higher than that. everyone knows homelessness rates are underestimated in all countries. my 30 million number came from my social policy class last week, as my prof said around the entire population of canada is homeless in the states not counting the millions of working poor.

I'm just busting your balls buddy. But, we're not as bad off in America as your prof makes it sound. All prof's for the most part swing way to the left.

"Corporate greed" can only flourish in the absence of risk. Risk can only be eliminated by some form of government intervention. Government intervention, for the most part, is the opposite of capitalism.
