Good song, but capitalism lifts people out of poverty by giving them opportunity. Everytime extreme socialism and communism are tried it ends in oppression of freedom, shared misery, and death and destruction. Also, abortion has killed more black people than gangs, war, drugs, lynchings, AIDS and sickle cell put together. Seventy percent of abortion clinics are in black neighborhoods and the black rate of abortion is approaching 50%. Yes these are the days of decision.

I think poor people have abortions alot because they don't feel like they can care for a child because they don't have any money. Well guess what the number one cause of debt is in America...HEALTHCARE of course. Having free healthcare would also send the message to potential abortive mothers that if they keep their baby, their country will do its part to help care for it, so the mother wouldn't have as much financial fear...

I am the most pro-life person i know of. I am more pro-life than the Fundamentalist Christians that i know.

Capitalism lifts people out of poverty...? Are we living in the same system? People are thrown out of their homes because they can't afford to pay the ridiculous taxes for a war they didn't choose. And giving tremendous bailouts to corporations while the common man is shoved onto the streets and patted on the back and given some heroin to keep him quiet. Sure is lifting 'em out of poverty.

The GOP is systematically destroying America. May they pay for their crimes, may they pay severely and may they pay soon.

@amysita77 Thank you for your generous and unbiased evaluation of my intellect and my ancestry. I daresay we are all inbred to some extent if we knew the truth. Perhaps Ralph Waldo Emerson was inbred too. He said, "...that is the one base thing in the universe, - to receive favors and render none" and "the highest price (a man) can pay for a thing is to ask for it". Capitalism is natural. It follows natural laws. It suffers not disequilibrium but rewards effort with recompense.

@swiiila Inbreeding has impeded your ability to think clearly.

Capitalism lifts people in cars made of plastic for times made of waste.

Some of the happiest and most successful European countries currently have Democratic Socialist systems. If it wasn't for ridiculous conservatives and their bullshit protestant ethic from hundreds of years ago (it was ignorant then, and is now), we would be in good shape too.

I wonder how many got this from "Hearts in Atlantis'?

[TheDaGator]

@yukonnoka u kno the majority of abortions r from people who simply just dont want children, not poor people just people who have unprotected sex for fun. and healthcare is not the largest cuaser of debt in america the federal reserve is

[TwilightCodex]

There's a lot more wrong with American extreme-capitalism / corporatism than capitalism in general.
