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?

I'm not talking about an either/or situation. I mean in many aspects we already are socialist. Welfare; corporate and humanitarian are both socialist. Actually any shared endeavor is socialist by nature isn't it? In the early days of this nation many roads were turnpikes, a private enterprise. Now it is not. So I guess my question is where do we draw the line? Why do we say that this area of opportunity is better served by the government and this by private industry? And who makes that choice?
