You better bet that it was hard earned, get another example - like Paris Hilton.
The beauty of Capitalism is the fact that you are free to exceed and you have the ability to work for something that you want without the government coordinating your lifestyle.

Its been wayyy abused and people are making money off porn :-$
And what happens is that everything is for monayyyyy. you knoz some bling blings yo.
That's not real Socialism. Real Socialism calls for complete equality of wages.
I want to be rich as Bill Gates.
Proving Socialism is for lazy people wanting the government to do everything.
Another problem with Socialism is that you give total control of the economy to the government. Once you give up a right, it is very hard to stop them. More and more rights will be lost. Next come the political rights. No more elections. Next come the social rights. For example, the Soviet Union immediately stopped all elections. Soon they were banning homosexuality, speech, religion, and other basic rights.
Finally Socialism is a Utopia, just like Communism or anarchy. It is a "quick fix." But it demands that everyone buys into the system. But if even 1-2% o the population rebels against the system, the system will fail because Socialism demands complete obedience.

Well you gotta understand that socialism is only an idea. And ideas can be changed...so I don't like it when people refer to history to say that an idea doesn't work.
And Capitalism has lot of faults. If its not socialism that works out, I'm sure we can think of of some utopia that does.
Capitalism does have faults. But in the end, it's the system that works the best. The most free nations are all Capitalist. The most wealthy nations are Capitalist. The nations with the highest life expectancy and quality of life are all Capitalist.
If its not socialism that works out, I'm sure we can think of of some utopia that does.
Utopia is not a good thing to me. A Utopia is an ideal society. But everyone has their own ideals. Everyone is different. Anarchy would be my Utopia. No government, no rules, etc. But I know it doesn't work. It never will. Thus I am not an Anarchist in practice. Others see theocracy as the perfect Utopia. Others see Socialism, Communism, One-World Government, or Monarchy as a Utopia. Everyone has a different ideal. Utopias never work. That's why I support Capitalism. It is not a "erfect" ideal. It is based on human instinct. Yes, there are some bad apples out there. But in the end, Capitalism brings the most wealth to everyone.

A thousand years ago all the governments were pretty much the same. Kings ruled. We evolved.
How does capitalism bring the most wealth to everyone? The ruling class are the rich ones. Were the ones to work for them and make them richer. Uptopias can work! Just dont call them uptopias.

Since the onset of Capitalism, the world has advanced faster than ever. When kings and the church ruled, it was called the "Dark Ages."
The ruling class are the rich ones. Were the ones to work for them and make them richer.
Then why don't you work your way to the upper class? Lower class workers act as if they are simply stuck there forever. This is not feudalism! You can work your way to the top!
Uptopias can work! Just dont call them uptopias.
Utopias don't work. Ever. Perfect societies will never work. Why? Everyone's idea of perfection is different. I explained it before, but you just can't seem to accept that people are all different.
Haha. You cant accept that we are not different...lol. And it has nothing to do with that lol. "Everyones idea of Utopia is different. Lets define Utopia. A society where things are fair and you have your freedoms.
"Then why don't you work your way to the upper class? Lower class workers act as if they are simply stuck there forever. This is not feudalism! You can work your way to the top!"
... Things should be more then just about money. I don't want to be at the top lol. If I do that my life will be a game of trying to get rich and once im there richer.
Lets define Utopia. A society where things are fair and you have your freedoms.
Wrong... again. A Utopia is an ideal society. I'm not sure why you can't understand this. It has nothing to do with fairness or freedom. Some people's utopias might include fairness and freedom. But not everyones utopia.
And everyone's ideal society is different, which is why a utopia would never work. Many see a religious rule as the perfect utopia. Others see anarchy as the perfect society. These societies would lack all basic freedoms, rights, and privacy. Yet some see this as a utopia. Socialism is another utopia. It will not work, because not everyone is going to jump aboard the Socialist Boat.
"Its not power that corrupts, its lack of power."
Lack of power corrupts? Guess what, it's those without power that are Socialists. If you believe that quote then obviously Socialists are the corrupt ones.
Right forget it then I dont want a Utopia. I want a society with fairness and freedom. Capitalism isnt fair.

Hah you obviously didn't understand it. People with power are corrupt because they want more power.

How is capitalism not fair? Everyone has the opportunity to succeed in a capitalist society, to propel beyond the average man. It isn't fair to eradicate the ability for one to accomplish his or her own dreams, so that the lazy man can be equally benifited. Socialism only appeases to the faineant, and not to those who work for something better.
