    I suspect the general concept of "greedy" capitalism leeds people to believe it's not a system that caters well for it's poor. The facts don't agree.

    You can't give people warning of radical change - they resist - and then they have time to organie their resistance .. even Roger Douglas knew that - hence his speed of action ...

    Not al human behaviour is driven by greed and money. That's even more cynical than I can be ..
    True! [you must spread etc]

    Don't forget to factor in the bank paying its investors for money that it isn't getting a return on.
    You might also explain the reference to banks printing their way out of it - I had no idea that banks in NZ could actually print their own money any more.
    Then you might want to reference these laws that are "protecting" the banks...

    Yeah, actually one of the better surrender documents I’ve read.
    Particularly where you misspelled “intellect”.

    Nothing wrong whatsoever with working hard .....being expolited is another thing all together .....

    Sounds like you have experience.
    I doubt that you were the one throwing the stones though.

    I think your two statements are incompatible .. a system that does not cater well for the poor will create social issues. And capitalism does not cater well for the poor. It creates the poor to start with - that is stupidity in itself. That's the problem with capitalism ... (And remember I said that the fucked up capitalist system remains the best that fucked up human beings can come up with ...)

    'Cause failing to spend what you earn means you don't deserve it?

    Are you going to try telling me that those children worked hard for what they have?
    Are you going to tell me they're less deserving than those that haven't earned the benefits they get?

    Then perhaps you'd better acquaint yourself with the facts somewhat better. Capitalist societies have fewer poor than any other sort, no other sort of society comes close in that regard. So far from making them fucked up it means they cater for their poor far better than any other system.

    Calling the best human beings can do fucked up is simply biased bullshit, western style economies outperform every economic system in recorded history in that regard, reducing the number of poor from "almost everyone" to "almost nobody", what's wrong with calling it for what it is: a social success of unprecidented proportions?
