Any thoughts?
eh...if you want equal poverty than socialism is the way to go...seriously though... almost every attempt at socialism has utterly failed...doomed it's people to poverty and expanded the power of the govt.

It breeds inefficiency and destroys any motivation for innovation.

Do you think we're as well off as we are in spite of capitalism, while the socialist countries have failed in spite of being socialist?
