Oh well... someday we'll live in a world where everyone will have an above average income.

Capitalism may be unfair, but communism is the equal distribution of poverty.

I used to work for Walmart. It's a TERRIBLE place to work. I love the Penn and Teller show, and generally agree with what Penn Jilette says, but he WAS painfully wrong when it comes to Walmart. Walmart is NOT good company because it gives jobs to the underclass.

Walmart TERRIBLY mistreats its underclass employees, but the only other option is a system that creates MORE underclass people to be taken advantage of by the government instead of by corporations.

Walmart=bad.
Alternative=worse.

true communism does not kill those who oppose them.(although look at the death toll caused by "proper" government in comparison) like any belief, theory or way of life it can be held to extremes that are the result of a common day hitler ( by that i mean a great rally-er, one who has the ability to call mass hysteria frenzy and followers)
