It seems that you are championing socialism/communism or some form of it as the best way to govern society, as opposed to capitalism. The development of the world as we know it is because of capitalism. The world does not progress in a socialist state. Here are some examples/arguments I have against your paper.<br /><br />you talk of nomadic tribes having low rates of crime- what is avg. life expectancy, the quality of life, the level of medicine? <br /><br />"A race that does not allow its greatest medical achievements to reach everyone, because it is a for-profit industry, leaves millions bankrupt and or dead prematurely." 80% of medical innovation comes from the United States. This is because it is so profitable for the private sector. Without the for-profit aspect, you wouldn't have the medicine in the first place.<br /><br />"The corporate elite who cajoled the public, without a voice, into bailing out their institutions with taxpayer subsidies created a situation that devastated the middle and lower classes." You do understand that the reason they did this was to prevent a depression and not to satisfy the influential business elite. If those banks went under, the economy would be destroyed on the scale of the great depression- not recession. Idealistically giving those banks that money was deplorable, but practically speaking it makes sensejohnnoreply@blogger.com
