That a country has much money doesn't mean that it "goes well". I mean, you can see some arabic countries whihc are really rich but they are full of poor people. It is more a matter on how money is distributed.

Yes, then no.

In those countries (India is included), the government owns nearly everything. That sucks. They stole it through taxation.

And socialism doesn't have to suck. It saved my country from the 3rd world 20 years ago.

Have you noticed that all of the dirt poor countires are are socialist? You couldn't name one that isn't. And have you noticed how all of the rich countries are capitalist? And have you noticed that all of the countries with huge economic troubles (and ready to tank, like Germany), are increasing the governments presence in the market? Socialism doesn't work, and doesn't help economies. Capitalism has made us the richest country in the world, with possible the lowest unemployment in the world (5.8%, which is high for us right now). It is also helping China, who is finally easing restrictions on capitalism.

As I see it, capitalism consist on high-developed countries leeching low-developed ones, suck their resources and become richer.

I am going to have some fun with this one: Give me an example where our business exploits people in third world countries. They don't! They employ them, when no one else would! In other words, the third world countries gain wealth from having more jobs, and we gain wealth from cheaper products.



You must not understand capitalism. It is simply an economic system that rewards investment of money and time with profit. No exploitation. That isn't to say American capitalism is perfect: we have tons of regulations, high taxes, and government run monopolies, all of which drain our economy. But in America there is a sense that other countires really don't have: that taxation is stealing. So in the long run, we are bound to free up our markets from excessive government intervention.]
