The best thing that could happen for these children is for the countries that they are born in to embrace capitalism. Without capitalism these countries will never have a way to sustain their populations. However, very little of the world has embraced capitalism. Instead, capitalism, the only social/political system capable of eradicating poverty, is condemned to the core. Then the US, with only a few threads of capitalism left, is expected to support the world.

@YOUCAUGHTME87 Well said.

@YOUCAUGHTME87 socialism is to prevent misfortunes not capitalism

[Tigerpaws9097826]

@YOUCAUGHTME87 Capitalism is not a panacea to our problems; among the gifts it has given us are also examples of deprivation, degradation, and pollution. Similar observations could of course be made about its alternatives, which s has led me to believe that our welfare is only secondarily dependent upon which "ism" we adopt; it is more signficantly dependent upon who we chose to be. Greed, lust for power, and selfishness can contort any system, while compassion and care can help it thrive.

@YOUCAUGHTME87

Haha.., that has to be ironic since it could not be more of a missconception of reality.

[YOUCAUGHTME87]

@freshhug There is only on 's' in the word misconception. I suggest that you invest in a book titled "Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt and see if you still think the way you do after reading it.

These children are impoverished because they live in countries with poor economies due to government intervention in said economies.

@YOUCAUGHTME87

Capitalism, especially the way it works in the USA is keping some people in poverty and a very few very rich. There are much better systems to live by if one care to look around. But the rich and powerful of today doesn't waqnt that just like the kings didn't want that during the middle ages.

[YOUCAUGHTME87]

@freshhug

A free market, which is what true capitalism is, does not make anyone rich at the expense of anyone else. One can only succeed in a free market by serving the wishes of his fellow man better than his competitors.

I cannot stress enough, that what we have in the US is NOT a free market. The government is always intervening in the market to prop up failing businesses and to bail firms out of bankruptcy. (In that sense, the rich really do get richer at our expense).

@YOUCAUGHTME87

It's not your government, your government is owned by corporations and powerful interests like AIPAC. Corporations are one of the key ingredients in capitalism, so when you blame government you are actually blaming capitalism because capitalism do exactly what it can do and what it is doing now is to buy your politicians wich is part of the same upper class. Why wouldn't it? they have all the power now, they even cheat the people of the elections now. Bad cop -good cop same ppl.

[YOUCAUGHTME87]

@freshhug

I deplore the ability of corporations to buy politicians, and we would both agree that corporations do that regularly. However, in a free market the corporations would have no incentive to do this because the government would be barred from intervening in the economy (often that intervention rewarding the corporations that fund the politician's campaigns in the first place). Plus, in true capitalism, companies are barred from using government to gain economic advantage.

[freshhug]

@YOUCAUGHTME87

Who would barr the government or the corporations from intervening? Don't you get it, the government is the peoples WILL, the government should do what the people want. In USA this is no longer the case and I can understand that you blame your current representatives but it's not the government as an idea that is wrong here. Right now your "free market" is as loose as it could ever be, there are NO barrs at all, because free market is in charge of everything right now.

[YOUCAUGHTME87]

@freshhug

The market is certainly not loose. The definition of a free market is: an economy that is free from government manipulation.

A few examples of government manipulation in our economy: the Federal Reserve System (while it is a private group, it was chartered by the government), government loans to college students, government welfare, government regulating the food markets (FDA, Department of Agriculture). These are just a few.

Everywhere one looks there is government intervention

@YOUCAUGHTME87

Ok I give up, I refer to all my previous comments if you care to understand.

[wweundertakerfan321]

What about the 3700 babys that are murdered every day.

[lvnc25]

[EmilyfromSweden]

[Mohfarah]

Those 24,000 children go straight to the seven heavens!
