Technically thats not capitalism. Capitalism is about free trade, low taxes, the government staying out of business regulation, and the ability to transfer from poor to rich, or vice versa.

Because the government is the one with the wealth and controlling the majority of the financial system, it's actually socialism. Things like this simple misunderstanding and the distortion of principles, makes people believe that capitalism is the problem. It's not. We do not live in a pure capitalistic world any more. Anyone that says we do, has never read The Wealth of Nations, or any other book on the basic principles of capitalism.

This is socialism with a hint of Marxism where the ruling class is the government, and a small hint of highly restricted and legislates....oh and highly taxed....."open" trade.




Keep it up Madgirl. You'll be okay. It's things like this that we prep for. Uni will be a good break from the 'system'. However, it's also a social mechanism to direct people's thoughts down a very specific path. It curbs creativity and forces people to stand on the state once they leave. Having said that, it's a great way to get in extra reading and meet loads of great cool people that can become great friends!!!
