Is American dream over?

Fewer Americans believe in the capitalist system than ever - thats the result of a new survey. Only slightly more than half of those who were asked, said the free-market economy is what the country needs.

We're becoming a pit like Mexico, rich corrupt ruling class, shrinking middle class, huge lower class: we let them flow in across the border, giving them welfare, free hospital care to breed as fast as possible, the US is making EVERY MISTAKE IN THE BOOK; Obama is doing more wrong than right he's part of the ruling elite: did he end the wars or close illegal prisons? Did he bail out the rich and ignore the rest? Your gov't sees you as fodder for the mill that feeds the rich.

As long as the the "military industrial complex" rules America, whatever system — be it capitalism or socialism — will always favor the richest "elite", i.e. the  the politicians and the banksters, who in turn are infiltrated by... international Zionists.

Capitalism or socialism? the same people will always pocket the biggest share of your tax money!

My belief is in Jesus not capitalism or any other creation. he said if you forget him he will wake you up. he told us what we should do but they want to throw him away. when you throw the good away what is left?

It is no mistake. Business is committing suicide and now they have the full faith and credit of the government in helping them do it.

i agree but i think the subliminal message that is much stronger that they're seeming to send out is what i don't think is cool. as usual, they seem to be fear mongering, witholding truth, misconstruing truth as much as possible, and just basically being dickbag pescimists. I don't like them implying that americans are too stupid to even understand what's wrong or how to fix it. i think they underestimate us and some day hopefully we can get back some truth and openess in government! :)

i just think these journalists are misconstruing the poll results and the question that was asked seemed to be engineered to show imaginary support for what they already wanted their audience to believe was true

i think the report was meant to be confusing to make the audience feel stupid and trust the newsmen to draw their conclusions for them. i'd like to know if those polled thought america is or ever had a true capitalist system. the moral of the story seems to be that we're doomed idiots

All is a sovit -marxist -socialism propaganda.

Unchecked Capitalism (American capitalism) caused the recession

it leaves the defenceless proletariat open to abuse from the greedy capitalist bourgeoisie

it has left people to die for being unable to afford healthcare in the states

it has been the driving force behind the war for control of middle eastern oil

Capitalism is just social darwinism: "the strong devour the weak, the weak are left at the mercy of the strong"

Well I can say the same thing of Buddhism! It's a great religion because it's not really a religion. That it it's not always centered on one individual or one god and is accepted in many countries where each country makes it work for their culture. Buddhism respects universe, life, earth, and encourages treating everyone each other with respect. Buddhist countries are generally warm and friendly and don't need to be at war with anyone. All this stuff is exactly what the world is needs now.
