Capitalism kicks ass! Now that I'm rich, I don't have to work, and since there are no taxes on the rich, I can just keep making more and more money without any idea of what to do with it! Nevermind the fact that other people need this money more then I do, it's mine, and I deserve to keep it, even though I'll just use it to buy things which I don't need, then keep the rest for my son to inherit, so he doesn't have to do any work either!

Poor people are poor because their labor is stolen every time a profit is made from their work by re-selling it back to them.
Why not hold a general labor strike? Simply don't have kids. Stop producing children. No more future work force.

poor people are poor because they keep buying stuff with money they don't have. Interest is the price of money NOW instead of later and many people are working like dogs just to keep up with it.

The highest paying jobs like doctors, lawyers, athletes, movie stars, etc. They don't work hard.

All of them work hard, even the movie stars.
Well, except if you define working hard by amount of manual labor but that would be moronic.
Doctors don't work hard? Last I checked it wasn't easy to open someone's chest and perform bypass surgery.

Are not work related hazards also a criteria? If so, then one will find that a majority of vocations that pays a lot and requires high level degrees also has almost no hazards at all (fire fighting engineer is an exception, i assume there are others). Some vocations are pays a lot and does not require degrees, these are often dangerous jobs but which requires skilled labor (i.e. oilrig workers). Most jobs that pays little are dangerous, if one does it ones whole life. These jobs are not supposed to be careers, yet there are people who cant get any other job and who toils in this hell for all there life being paid nothing. This type of work is harder than being a doctor, and if one argues against that one is a moron.

Surgery isn't as complicated as they make it sound. You can't prove those manual labourers are incapable of it because noone gives them a chance.

I like the sarcasm of the OP's post and I most heartily agree. I am definatly no Communist/libetarian but Capitalism gets my blood boiling. It's simply because they steal from the poor by way of taxes and control. It's a system that has been incorporated since the Feudal ages when lords could make money by governing thier peasants. I do think, that, as a Working class citizen (I am middle class but I work in engineering, I think that farming, research and manufacture is the only worthwhile work) it is simply our job to reject authority.
Remember, assinating a leader may save the masses.
If that's a joke then I don't get it.

No one should say I didn't contribute anything, so just in case you're not trolling (very unlikely though):
Capitalists hate taxes.
Capitalism usually stands for laissez faire.
What you're talking about are the social democrats (not full socialists as the socialists don't want you to have any property at all) aka. Democratic Party (USA), Labour Party (UK), SPD & CDU (Germany. CDU are some kind of christian conservative socialists though) or ALP (Australia).

laissez faire is Capitalism but Capitalism isn't laissez faire. But yes it was a mistake mentioning taxes, I posted in a hurry, but my original point still stands on the control of the poor.

The problem with capitalism is clearly the poor. They are so lazy and stupid (their laziness and stupidity being completely their fault) that they cant pull themselves up by their bootstraps like good Americans. We should deport all of them to Mexico.

Capitalism runs on the poor. Because there are so many imports willing to do labour the rich can charge cents for the most menial labour work which is the essence of any system. Go on, deport them , sure, employment rates will rise.

Then unemployment rates will rise. There will be no need for class division. Etc Etc. I think you get the general jist of social repurcussions if this were true.

Well, we can feed the unemployed the bodies of the ones we genocide. It will all work out. Or we can always turn poor people into currency for the rich.
Maintaining the sewers is actually a well paid job.
Those who work are not the problem.
The prices of most goods pend on the average American's wage.
You wouldn't gain anything by giving everyone $1000 extra as it would only cause an inflation.
Those who don't are the NIGGERS who ruin everything.
