You will never be satisfied until the government loots the capital from the rich, and gives it to the poor.

No, I will never be happy until we no longer have homeless people walking the streets, kids w/ no chance of getting an education, people living at poverty level, and healthcare only for those who can afford it. Risk needs to be rewarded, but not to the extent that the losers in the capitalist game are set out on the street to die or live a life of misery. Without a doubt in my mind, the greatest economic system employs not only Capitlistic principles, but also a system where some of the excess wealth created is fed back into the system so that everyone has the opportunity to become educated, and everyone has an opportunity to turn their ideas into reality. Capitalism would not work if monopolies were allowed to control the few resources while everyone else lives a life of servitude and misery. WHO would consume the high tech goods to make them on a mass manufactured scale? WHO would work for these large companies if few people were allowed an opportunity to become educated? What innovations would we ever see if individuals were not given a viable opportunity to put them on the market? Balance is key to everything.
