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

If you really feel that way your only option is to pack your bags and move to a Communist country

[Brian]

We can regroup by undoing all of the policies and irresponsible spending out in place by Obama..

If socialism is such a success why is the european economy on its knees?

[Lea]

How is capitalism a failure? Prove it? We have been a super power for years and our standard of living far exceeds even european countries..even during this recession....how is that failing?

[Lydia]

Capitalism has not failed. It was the social programs installed under Clinton and those like Barney Frank and his butt boy at Fanny Mae wanting to give to those that could not afford it or were not credit worthy.

"Capitalism has proved to be a complete FAILURE"


Compared to what? How'd the USSR do with communism?

[Shovel Ready]

A government coercing financial institutions to lend money to people unable to pay it back is what has proved to be a complete failure. There is nothing wrong with free enterprise.

I don't know that capitalism has been a failure, the government had a lot to do with what happened. But I think to get back out of this mess it's going to take the workers and companys working together to find solutions to their problems. It will give workers a say in what is happening and a better understanding of what it takes to even run a company and it's overhead. I think workers would be more inclined to do better work and the companys wouldn't have to worry about undo pressures for raises and benefits. If this depression lasts more than five yrears I wouldn't be surprised to see something like that happen.

Capitalism failed? What part of our poor are still the top richest 5% in the world do you mean fail? What about having the most international companies do you mean fail? Prosperous is almost all of the Americans. We became the greatest country in the world in only 200 or so years of existence. Which other country has done that?
