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.

You can roll your eyes in ignorance, but under what other economic system do the poor get rich? The Smurfs?
