| Re: Not a good thing. Capitalism is the only system in which ANYBODY gets rich. Under Socialism or Communism, everybody is poor--though some have more power, and use that to gain some creature comforts.

2 edits | Re: Not a good thing. said by calvoiper  :Under Socialism or Communism, everybody is poor--though some have more power, and use that to gain some creature comforts. And under communism, which never existed, no one is rich and no one is poor... In theory.
said by calvoiper :Capitalism is the only system in which ANYBODY gets rich. Unless I misunderstood what you meant, that isn't the case... In feudalism, the landowners get rich... For your statement to be correct, it would have to be - Capitalism is a system in which everyone has a chance to get rich... Of course, everyone can't be rich.

And what then if there is only one phone company and its a private venture? Not a lot of stuff going for the consumer there either.
Capitalism is okay, but only if there is competition.
