    Wrong, commerce does that, but to do that you need companies investing tons of money upfront, market research, development and a very substantial up front investment or there’s no product to sell, and then no commerce. If money can’t be made either by the companies or the people behind them, theirs no drive to do it.

    Where are the socialists standing with their commerce vs capitalism?

    China has almost 1.5 BILLION people vs the US’ couple hundred million, so it’s not size or numbers.

        Lot of rambling and blaming Capitalism for things you can’t back up, so where are these Socialist countries with better commerce/business and as a result higher GDP?

                I must have missed something, I’ve had great health care my whole life, I’ve got a good education, and all govt’s are corrupt. Way to be both full of shit, and dramatic.

                    Our health care is mismanaged, it’s very well there and we have good health care. Sorry if you’re one of the types that got shit jobs your whole life, or expect $25/hr to work at McDonalds and cry because of it. We have ALWAYS had health care for poor people, the VA has always been there, that works AWESOME doesn’t it? Elite? LOL. Funny given you know absolutely nothing about me, we call that talking out of our ass.

                    You childish morons cry about rich people “not paying taxes”, so old… Everytime a flat tax is brought up it’s the people on YOUR side that complain about it not being fair that vote against it, like clockwork. Why? I thought you wanted it to be FAIR! When people don’t pay taxes, they get their money taken by force. The IRS is one of the only people nobody gets away with screwing. Don’t cry when they’re smart enough to use the same tax code that intentionally put in there to their advantage. You’ll whine and cry when a CEO from an oppsing side does what everybody does, but nothing when Apple does it. Let alone using the tax code to their advantage, but outsourcing all their production to child slaves in China…but that’s different right?

                    Also, I like how you pulled the “there’s no such thing as starvation because I just had a sandwich” defense. Classic

                    Me saying I have something you claim I don’t isn’t saying that, another troll tactic, nice try though. By all means though, feel free to move to a country with Socialized healthcare, pay 4x as much in taxes, then convince yourself it’s “free” and enjoy having zero choice in your healthcare.
