RE: Capitalism and Socialism, explain please
We are not in a capitalist system atm. What we are experiencing is "Crony Capitalism." There are no bailouts in real capitalism, if you go under, others take your place, in a Darwinian fashion.
I personally don't mind paying taxes for things like roads, infrastructure, healthcare etc, because I use those. But I accept they are not my "right" and that I am lucky to have any of them. I do not like the idea of my money being used for wars, missiles, bailouts, luxury for politicians etc, but I can't really do anything about that.
I would like for most of the power that government holds to be given to small local government. The larger amount of power a position holds, the greater the attraction it is to monsters who would abuse it.
Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!
