I suppose, but the principle that capitalism rests on is this: Every person is inherently greedy; however if each is allowed to earn according to her abilities and motivation - to compete fairly with others - usually, their greed placated, they will become benevolent. It's basically a "me first, then you" philosophy. To get to the "then you" part you have to solve the "me first" part. That's what capitalism does as it views humanity as we are. Socialism, on the other hand, views humanity as it wishes we were. It attempts to force people into being benevolent by imposing government restrictions on their means to work and acquire capital. In the end, black market capitalism springs up because: 1.) No matter how hard you try to deny it, people are greedy and, therefore, capitalist by their very nature, and 2.) Those that make the rules are humans and, therefore, greedy. Free and fair market capitalism is the ONLY workable human economic system because it's the only system based on who we truly are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226433 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
