Capitalism has proved to be a complete FAILURE, how can we regroup and ensure a prosperous life for all?

Excuse me? Capitalism hasn't failed at all. We have become a nation of enablers, and we are now paying the price for our ethically challenged citizens. While the most notable are at the top and their lack of ethics no less than theft, it's the vast numbers at the bottom that threaten our collapse.

It is impossible for "we" to ensure a prosperous life "for all." This is an INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY, not a COLLECTIVE ONE.

For example, if welfare recipients want to be more prosperous, here's a novel idea! How about getting up off your behinds and getting a job??
Why should you stay home all day when you are capable of working 40 hours a week, just like I do? If you don't like the fact that you lack the education and skill set needed for a job that pays more than minimum wage, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! Stop looking around with your hand out to others who work their tails off trying to provide for their own families!!

Yes, it's long past time that our GOVERNMENT regroups and starts holding EVERYONE accountable, not just a select few. While Obama may want to hold elites responsible for everyone, he needs to acknowledge that it was HIS voting base who should not have been given mortgages, HIS voting base committing welfare fraud and refusing to work, HIS voting base bankrupting hospitals by failing to pay their bills and HIS voting base refusing to work and provide for themselves.

If it's to be, it's up to ME. That goes for every one of us. I for one am tired of bank rolling lazy people with some warped sense of "entitlement." That's total B.S.

Forget reparations. Try WORKING.
