Our extreme wealth distribution is no where near the extreme wealth distribution in asia.

And if you want an example of forcefully trying to redistribute wealth and allowing a bloated government pig, look no further than…Greece..[/quote]

I’m certainly not arguing for forceful redistribution of wealth through allowance of bloated government pig.

the problem of socialism is very apparent. it absolutely creates economic stagnation and for the lack of better word, laziness. the problem of capitalism is also very apparent in that the default is eventually you end up with extreme wealth distribution. and extreme wealth distribution then lead to revolutions.

I don’t think just calling the US the United Socialist States of America really help the matter.

At issue is can we jump out of this capitalism vs socialism trap and find a better way to prevent extreme wealth distribution.
