How about a woman who marries a guy, has two kids with him, and leaves him because he beat her repeatedly. The argument for capitalism is always to point out the lazy people who would take advantage of the system. If the least able, or laziest people are provide a mere subsistence lifestyle, who would choose to live like that voluntarily?

Not in corporate America. Most companies force you to sign away the rights to anything you invent, while you are employed by that company. They own your invention.

Steal? Socialists don't steal. It's like living in a family. If your mother sat on her ass, and there's a storm, would she have to steal your wood, or would you offer it to her? Show some love.

The "idea" is not stupid, IMHO. The execution has been poor. I'm not one of those people who have to "have it all". There's a point where a comfortable life is enough - there no need for private jets and islands. After a comfortable lifestyle, I would forfeit my excess wealth to those who were truly in need.
rk, you, more than anyone, should feel that we are all one. Those in need suffering is the same as you suffering.
