Why will capitalism fail? The top 1% will break the system. Greed will destroy the system, the rich keep getting more rich to the point where the middle class will become non existent and then the revolution will occur  :wacko:


if we didnt have a corrupt government capitalisim woundt be a problem.

If we didnt have a corrupt government, big government wouldnt be a problem.

if revolution is coming, its because we have a corrupt government.

10-20 years is my prediction, a revolution led by our children, lest by the time they can vote all have an equal voice in politics, and the corruption is temporarily driven out.

I find it hilarious how the OP doesn't believe in Objective Moral Values but believes capital punishment is far too good for this guy.

Hilarious indeed.


I find it hilarious that you still don't know what the word 'objective' means.

The rich keep getting richer because they consume less than they earn and invest the remainder, gradually accumulating wealth over time.

Anyone in the middle to upper-middle class could do this and retire with several million dollars and a stable future.

Instead they spend until middle age when they finally begin paying down personal debts and socking something away.

This is a problem that goes beyond "the greedy rich".

Are you talking about paying off college loans, home loans, and their children's education when you say spend untill middle age?

Education costs used to be significantly lower (ignoring that cheap in-state and community college options still exist), the boomers can't blame education costs for their debt.

If children are receiving money from their parents for education they aren't saddled with debt, and if the parents aren't paying then, again, it can't be counted as the reason they're failing to save for retirement.

And home loans are expensive, but too many people live in homes that they can't afford, or were you not around for the last housing bubble?

The problem here is that the middle class is financially illiterate and they make poor financial choices that saddle them with debt. This is stupidity, not greed.
