4.2 million in one day

Do you honestly THINK that or are you just making shit up?

You might think that in theory but you just have to step outside to see how in the majority of cases it's not true. How many rich, spoiled brats inherit six figure incomes and do no kind of work for it? I can name quite a few from my high school. Capitalism is the best system I know of for a lot of things but it sure as hell isn't best for everything.

PS: What makes somebody "Cream of the Crop"?

Sounds like a personal issue to me. She might not blow that money in your life time and she might get the chance to pass it to her offspring (god forbid). But that doesn't mean those "rich, spoiled brats" don't fuck up and lose everything once in a while. What isn't it the best system for? Do you hate the rich idiots because they are rich or because you feel like you deserve that money more then them because they are idiots?

The cream of the crop were the ones that made that fortune in the first place.

But what qualities of a person makes them the cream of the crop? And why should people who happen to be born into upper class families have such a huge advantage over those born into lower class families?

Anyways, Capitalism is terrible for things such as police and health care since health problems and crime problems are often more prevalent the less money you have and therefore it just keeps the mechanism in place to keep poor people poor. Education is similar though the problem there is that if poor people can only afford poor education, their kids don't have much of a chance. We already have that problem since taxes paid in each school district go directly to the district school, meaning that the poor kids will likely have a worse chance of making it in our society and likely will be considered leeches in our country because they were unable to get proper education.

And I'm quite well off tyvm, I just know not everyone is and there are tons of people who get a raw deal while you have people like me who profit for no reason except where I was born. Basically, I have empathy for those who have less than me.

As someone who worked his way up from nothing. I can honestly say, fuck socialism; it just leads to a bunch of worthless sacks of shit leeching off the government.

Out of the current good candidates, Ron Paul, Dennis Kusinich, and Mike Gravel. I think Ron Paul is the only one with a chance to win. All the other candidates are neo-cons and will just continue where Bush left off.
