If only right? But lets entertain the though, Obama or Rommney, and yes, it can get much shitter than it already is. And depending on which asshole wins, it can get much worse.
And true Capitalism does not work because its unsustainable, In fact, in true Capitalism there would be a system in which it would be even easier to exploit, provided you have massive capital. Capitalism is not your friend, and neither is Socialism. There shouldnât be one or the other, because if its simply one or the other we come to the same conclusions every time. If we pick Socialism we end up like the USSR, if we chose capitalism, we end up Great Depression x1000 does not. To simply say that capitalism is better than socialism because of what it can provide is short sighted and naive. Capitalism does not give a damn about you, society, or sustainability, because all it cares about is hording wealth at the very top at whatever the cost may be.
You make it seem like you have an actual choice. When you donât. You either participate in society and this little circle jerk or you pay more than what is possible for the average individual. Money doesnât grow on treeâs, and if it does, its illegal because im supposedly stealing it from âpeopleâ ie corporations.
No, its not a problem that you own 5 houses. Itâs a problem when there are enough houses for everybody, but people canât buy them because of their circumstance, or because some assholeâs in suits think its a good idea to sell homes that are 3 bedroom 1 bathroom for 700K plus dollars, but its real easy to owe more than what the house is worth because some bank made less profit one year. You donât always choose to be out of work or homeless, it just happens sometimes.
You also assume homeless people donât want to work.
Answer this, how is a homeless individual supposed to get a job, when itâs required that you show proof of citizenship, a home, and a phone number in which an employer can contact you.
HOw is an individual who is homeless suppose to have access to all of those services if it requires capital to begin with.
Or how is another homeless individual supposed to get a job when he has no access to mental health facilities because it requires stability and capital to have access to them.
Society is not geared to help these people, so how can they participate in society, if society deems them âuselessâ because they donât have a âhome.â Its not that they donât want to work, society doesnât want them to work because they donât meet the basic requirements for work. So if anything, capitalism is even worse at taking care of society because it only cares about âworthâ, whereas government, in our case, cannot readily do that.
And I donât see why we shouldnât give houses to these people. Working 12+ hours a day looking for cans, metals, scraps of food just to survive. If anything they work harder than those who own 5 houses.
Stop making a grey issue black and white, because it really isnât.
