[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 796123, member: 24302"] History is full of examples of the rich and powerful exploiting the poor and weak, eventually resulting in violent backlashes. And in the last 100 years or so there are quite a few examples of Marxism/Socialism being implemented, resulting in widespread violence and misery for millions. Whether you're a greedy capitalist or an idealistic socialist, you aren't going to do much for the common guy based on past history. The difference is that poor people don't employ others, rich people do. I might resent the exploitation, but I've got to go where the work is. And when the time comes through sacrifice and saving put myself in a position where I don't have to work for the rich guy anymore. Not what some want to hear, but that's the reality as I see it. Social justice schemes don't work. [/QUOTE]
