Their power does not matter. They exist, and they're cancer.

Another fault of Capitalism: Under a fairer system, the Rich would be taxed far more heavily than the Poor.

To my knowledge, the rich
are taxed far more heavily than the poor.

The "Lazy Unemployed" do not, in a practical sense, exist. Those seeking work have just as much right to that money as the Rich who gained it through their class privileges.

Yes, those
seeking work. It's hard to monitor who's actually bothering to look for work and who is not, I'll hand you that, but I doubt it is impossible. Why not accept there are simple details of existing governments that need to be eradicated? You (seem to) put it as if it were no problem at all.

1. It is possible, but my point is that it is not currently the case.

And my point is that it is possible. See below.

2. I don't think I've said "in theory" yet in this topic...

See below.

The system I'd like hasn't been invented yet, either. It's called Communism.

Yea, so you are defending something you can only discuss
in theory, and there we have it again. That's why I said I was quoting you. Of course you didn't
say those words, but it's basically what you're on about. Unless a communistic state popped up over night, of course, in which case I beg for pardon.

I fail to see the relevance of this. That is Human Nature, and has little to do with anything we've been debating...

My point exactly. The enire paragraph had nothing to do with the debate. I just wished to make it clear what my beliefs are, as opposed to myself defending Capitalism (though, no, I don't judge it as a bad system, I just severly doubt it to be perfect. And no *g* I'm not going to point out where I see flaws, just to make this more interesting).
And, by the way. "Responsibility to the responsible" is not human nature. En contraire, as the french would say. (No offence to religious people out there, read over the next sentances and ignore them) Religions were created simply as a lot of people wanted to flee from responsibility. First, responsibility to give their own individual life a meaning. Then later, responsibility to act. Perhaps the religion in itself may not be bad, but a lot of people practising religions seem to turn it into such a light. How often have you heard the phrase "in the name of god"? And I'm not just talking about the eleventh sep'. In general. Or "he/she is god's hands now". Reassuring, yea, but it sure relieves people of having to think... *winks*

So you haven't met Leon or Matt yet, then? :D

Hmm. I don't think so? You'd have to utter their screennames, or I won't recognize 'em. Afterall, you seem to be the only on the board that knows nearly everyone's real names. *grin* So enlighten me, please.
