Contradict? THEY EITHER DO OR DON'T. Problems this country has now, partly, because of the socialistic programs that were instituted into the fabric of our government. There's difference in what democracy and capitolism stands for, and socialism. The way our country was set up (by our forefathers) is was what has made us one of the most powerful and influential country in the world. Tampering with it has eroded it away. We must return to our first love. She is who will keep us She always has.

@imaginarythings Our country was most prosperous under " liberal socialist " monetary system . Capitalism as we know it in America began in the early 1910s and our government quicikly payed the price and learned their lesson . By the 1940s we understood the importance of preventing monopolies , until Reagan derugulated virtually every industry in the 1980s then 20 years later history repeated itself . All our infrastructure was set in place in the 1800s under liberal socialist banking systems .

@Enyatea72  If you actually watch the video I never once say Capitalism is better or worse than Socialism.

Capitalism is Unconstitutional. Capitalism's core ideology and only ideology is: Profits before people". Money is more important than a human life. The is not following what Democratic Socialism proposes, which is; "We the People".

@fomalhauto I agree mostly , but foreign aid is 1 out ofe every 200 dollars we collect in tax . The military is 50% of our budget . I doubt the help we send Africa for example makes a real dent in our pocket . Obama just approved 400 new fighter jets at 270 millio a piece to be built and increased the military budget 10% over the highest Bush ever had it . We are going bankrupt from expenses like this in my opinion .

I think we need to take care care of just ourselves and not other people in other countries.

I believe that care-taking,charity starts at home.

@TheJoker7682 The desire to succeed. Look at Japan before it was introduced to Western Cultures. They took pride in everything they did, to fail was a huge dishonor not only to them selves but to their families. Western culture mediocre is acceptable, and people are not held responsible or to higher standards. Corporations sacrifice safety and quality to make a profit at the expense of their customers and the tax payers.

@TheJoker7682 ~There are many possibilities on what can and can't work BUT the Government was not ever meant to and is unable to handle these kinds of things. It ALWAYS ends up the same. FLAT BROKE!!! History is our best teacher here. Socialism is a system of failure and goes thru the same cycle of failure. It prospers at first and then goes broke. Socialism and the unions are out greatest enemies. They are contrary to our way.

@TheJoker7682 That's a problem created by an individual. Anyways, that problem is worse in socialism because the government controls everyone's money by controlling goods and how people can and cannot spend their money. The difference is that the government has a monopoly use on legitimized violent force, and a bank does not.

"food to eat, medicine, shelter" No, they aren't rights, but men fight for the right to obtain those things. They form governments and build businesses and schools and arm themselves. However, when they let someone else control their money, bad things happen no matter how hard they try, they end up being owned, consumed by debt, all because they wouldn't self-govern with each other in mind and for the future.
