[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]My problem with capitalism (and I must say that it is a system which has worked remarkably well over the years) is that the primary motivating factor is greed.[/i] So it takes advantage of human nature (insofar as greed is the correct term to use here), instead of trying to contradict it? [i]Works just fine in many European countries, dud. Free healthcare, imagine that![/i] "Free?" Do you have any idea what tax rates they pay to pay for their supposedly free healthcare? And of the QUALITY of that health care? [i]Couldn't we migrate the value of wealth from material possesions and power to accomplishment, prowess, serenity or some other less arbitrary commodity?[/i] And how do you propose we do this to the majority of the population that doesn't want to change? [i]No, it's the fact we've let ourselves grow too addicted to acquiring little pieces of paper and metal.[/i] Same as above. [i]And still customers buy from them. [/i] Only the ones that are willing to buy a substandard product. [/QB][/QUOTE]
