[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5242586, member: 24302"] At what point is it no longer blood money? Millions came to this country after slavery ended and built a life through hard work that they couldn't have elsewhere. Have you ever seen the neat packages of meat and cheese from a company called Swiss Colony? Do you know why they're called that? In the late 1800's Switzerland was poor. Had a lot of poverty. A lot of Swiss left and formed little "colonies" in other countries. Switzerland eventually turned into an extremely wealthy country by implementing capitalism. Eastern Europe is pulling itself out of decades of communism with capitalism. China was failing until it allowed capitalism. It works and you just have to accept that some will do better than others primarily because they have more ambition. Those with less still are provided jobs and the freedom to improve their circumstances. The idea of everyone having the same and is justice just leads to most having little. [/QUOTE]
