"The US is considered one of the more capitalistic nations. And while it has a great deal of wealth, it has a number of problems that other capitalistic nations do not have." It is also the most successful country in the world. Coincidence? I don't think so. Like I said, you have the imagination of a turtle. You believe that great wealth =s success. Forget that great wealth is simply a lot of dollars or euros piled up. We live in a society where an attorney who can get cold blooded murderers declared innocent make millions while artists who create beautiful art struggle to survive. An A-rod can make $25 million each year playing a game while more essential plumbers and engineers make far less. A society where great poverty exists in spite of all its wealth; where its prisons overflow with criminals. When great wealth comes at a cost to the society as a whole or when it perverts its priorities, its not success but chicanery. Now, do you want to try again to point out a better system and why it is better? "No, I don't." Why not? Is it because you can't? No, I've already told you what are better possibilities. Like I said, your lack of imagination keeps you from seeing its possibilities.
