[QUOTE="BananaCat, post: 2118598, member: 62462"] [ATTACH=full]74620[/ATTACH] Capitalism and socialism completely and utterly fail if leaning too far in either direction. Pure capitalism with no hint of socialism results in the wealthy elites destroying the middle class and down. Too much socialism results in the stifling of our economy and people getting angry about handouts. It's a fine balance that neo-cons and neo-liberals pretend they are accomplishing by walking down the middle of the road. In reality, they are both the same party and make huge amounts of money in exchange for rewriting laws so the elitists can become even more powerful. They keep dividing our country on the basis of socialists vs capitalists when it is a gray issue. When it comes down to it, it is the fault of the people. Most people don't vote. The people that do vote don't know anything about who they are voting for other than the party affiliation and biased news clips. The media, unfortunately, completely brainwashes people. I can't believe how people watching CNN or Fox think the pundits are preaching the political gospel. Third party candidates are going to pick up a lot of steam after this election and is really the only way to fix our system. Voting for the same big families in politics has really ravaged our country. Bernie sanders is okay in that he's trying to get big money out of politics; but, I don't agree with all his handouts. However, I think the 4 year trade-off is worthwhile. Ron Paul was our last real shot in a presidency that would have headed our country in the right direction. Too bad the media completely threw him under the bus... [/QUOTE]
