No, Granny. Capitalism makes all richer and affords the poor the amenities that they have.
And yet there are still millions of Americans without basic healthcare. Capitalism is clearly not doing the best of jobs or this would not be the case.
It's not up to the rich to make the poor better off. It's the government which subsidizes the poor who feed at the government trough paid for by the taxes of the middle class and far more by the rich (see the stats).
You should stop playing blame games Buz. It is generally not the fault of the poor that they're poor.
Some get more from welfare than if they worked.
The answer to that then is to ensure that working pays a living wage, not to hammer the poor. Blaming poor people for their own poverty is nothing but a Band Aid over the guilt of the better off.
I'm not interested in playing blame games here; I'm interested in creating a better, fairer and more equal society. Capitalism has had plenty of time to achieve that and it has failed.
They were pagans who had their war dances, etc That's another related matter.
That is not a related matter unless you are a fucking bigot.
What more do you want the rich and capitalism to do for them.
How about bringing American health care up to the standards enjoyed in the developed world?
