capitalism at its greatest.

soz, i was on this site and there was this question and answer thing that this guy answered, and i had some thought on it that i felt i should share :)

Q: If you could change anything in the world, what would it be and why?
A: I'd change the face that our country is dependent on foreign labor which would open new jobs in the USA for Americans to do which in turn would probably lower poverty rates.

yes, i felt something strong about it. i really admire that he answered that. the problem is that americans (no offense) have learnt to be like this and not work very much to get what they want. they are a capitalist society so if the rich people are getting what they want for a good price, thus making them richer, they have no reason to care what happens to the people below them, the poor people, because they're happy, creating poverty. if the people on top would become more socialist (which wont happen very easily) then they would care a bit about their society and not just themselves, and they would deffs contribute to helping reduce poverty. but unfortunately since politicians and rich people are almost like best friends. the rich politicians are payed and make rules that are in favor of the richer people, thus making the rich richer, and the poor poorer.
its a tough world to face, but people have just grown up to get what they want, not caring about the people they hurt to get it. thats how the great depression started; by greed, and i can honestly say that since this recent recession, there is a possibility of another depression coming because of the greed and the over consumption of not only the US, but around the world.

sadly, there's not much that can be done to change it because even i wont stop buying things "made in china" because they are things i want, no matter who makes them. maybe next time try to buy safer, and more locally.

but thats just what i think (;
