Socialism vs. Capitalism

...“ there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.” ...

The debt when George W. Bush took office was $5.727 Trillion when he left it was $10.627 Trillion. The total debt that George W accumulated in eight years of office is $4.9 Trillion The debt right now is $13.736 Trillion. In approximately 666 days in office, he has accumulated $3.066 Trillion. Using simple algebra you'll find by Dec 2011, Obama will have accumulated more debt in three years than George W. did in 8 years.

@LucisFerre1 "So, you're assuming that poor people work and rich people don't?" NO. I AM NOT SO STUPID AS TO MAKE OVER SWEEPING GENERALIZED STATEMENTS. generalized statements are the easiest to disprove because you can always find counter-examples. I have made this point already. I will say that whatever social economic class you are born in you are statistically more likely to stay in. being born w/ money makes it easier to attract. one more reason they shouldnt get extra breaks

I don't give a fuck, Home Skillet. I've worked construction, been in two war zones, and worked civilian contracts for the DoD in militarized hot spots. I don't care if you've sold matches on the street corner...in the rain. It doesn't change facts.

@mkrulic517439, First off, I'm not "right wing". I'm a libertarian. Secondly, suggesting that those who don't dig ditches for a living don't work is ludicrous. Third, an estimated 3.5 percent of illegal aliens are migrant farm workers, so I don't see what they have to do with anything. So, you're assuming that poor people work and rich people don't? If that's your angle then I have to laugh at that. If that's not your point, then you just seem to be rambling at no one in particular.

@LucisFerre1 your not going to sell that shit here. I DIG FUCKING DITCHES FOR A LIVING. I do foundation waterproofing and crack repair. your not going to tell a man who works a shovel that flying to paris is work. FAIL

you right wingers really stretch this and its not this hard. look, monkey ass, if you make sweeping generalized statements they are easily disproven. poor people lazy-migrant farm workers. rich work hard-paris hilton. shoot for some majority percentage.

@mkrulic517439, how hard does Paris work? How much does she travel for appearances, photo shoots, and club grand openings etc? Half her work is overseas. If you think that Paris is her persona, then you probably also think that Dolly Parton is a dumb hillbilly rather than a media mogul worth more than 100 million dollars.

Paris Hilton gets hundreds of thousands of dollars per appearance in different nightclubs and venues playing her "rich girl" persona, much the same way Donald Trump does. She appears to be a party girl mooching off the family fortune, but she's now independently wealthy and playing off the celebrity image she's created.

How is it that this fucker hasn't killed himself in shame yet?
