The Solution To Poverty?

Yes capitalism is the only system by which the individual through his own efforts and own risk can create wealth.

No other system allows that.

They all without exception pick and choose who will win and who will lose, pretty much like you would do.

"You make to much money I have to take it and give it to this person who did nothing to earn it like you did." 

I on the other hand would handle all poverty through the private sector.

I would give huge tax incentives to donate to private charities.

Private charities would be more mindful of those who deserve help and those who don't.

Your system doesn't differentiate a real person in need and a useless pile of lazy ass shit that will milk your system for every dime they can get.

Like I said you would pick who wins and who loses.

You would decide what people make and what they spend their money on.

You would micro manage every aspect of every human being.

I want no part of your collectivism, I would rather starve and suffer during hard times.

I would rather starve and suffer for my bad life decisions.  Which by they I did and still do. I'm just not dumb and naive anymore so my suffering is all but a thing of the past. 

Your walls of line by line eye bleed are proof of that. 

Why did Venezuela fail so miserably and so quickly? ....... Why doesn't it work?  

I would rather starve and suffer during hard times. I would rather starve and suffer for my bad life decisions

I will care about the suffering that I can do something about and that is it.

The fact that I don't act like a bleeding heart pussy doesn't change anything. I will ask you again, how many people do you help financially with your own after tax income? You won't answer because it is 0.

I have raised 5 children in my life and paid all of their bills.

I have fixed countless cars and houses over my life time for people who could not afford to have it done professionally for free or one tenth of the cost.

I have donated hundreds of man hours doing such things. Tell us about how you help people other than giving lip service about how the govt should do everything at my expense the taxpayer.

I already pay the govt 40% of everything I earn between federal state and local taxes and to this day have seen nothing to show for it. People are as poor as they ever were and there are no fewer but more.

So basically you believe you are morally superior to me because you pretend to care more but in reality I have helped far more people than you ever will

You are the one with the ego.

You can confiscate all the world's wealth and give it to who you think is poor and it will all be right back in the same hands of the people you took it from in ten years.

You don't care about suffering and the poor, you give useless lip service and try and place blame on people like me that call out your BS.

My ego has nothing to do with it. Your ignorance of human nature is beyond pale. Your ignorance of what real poverty is is beyond pale. Your ignorance of the entire world around you is beyond pale. You are nothing but a cacophony of personal attacks, ignorance and lip service. You are a dime a dozen.

complete irrelevant blather, you talk to hear yourself talk

In January 1921, a daily newspaper in Germany cost 0.30 marks. Less than two years later, in November 1922, the same newspaper cost 70,000,000 marks. All other prices in the economy rose by similar amounts. This episode is one of history’s most spectacular examples of inflation, an increase in the overall level of prices in the economy.

Although the United States has never experienced inflation even close to that of Germany in the 1920s, inflation has at times been an economic problem. During the 1970s, for instance, when the overall level of prices more than doubled, President Gerald Ford called inflation “public enemy number one.” By contrast, inflation in the first decade of the 21st century ran about 2½ percent per year; at this rate, it would take almost 30 years for prices to double. Because high inflation imposes various costs on society, keeping inflation at a low level is a goal of economic policymakers around the world.

What causes inflation? In almost all cases of large or persistent inflation, the culprit is growth in the quantity of money. When a government creates large quantities of the nation’s money, the value of the money falls. In Germany in the early 1920s, when prices were on average tripling every month, the quantity of money was also tripling every month. Although less dramatic, the economic history of the United States points to a similar conclusion: The high inflation of the 1970s was associated with rapid growth in the quantity of money, and the return of low inflation in the 1980s was associated with slower growth in the quantity of money.

Yes, economic policy can be useful but sometimes policy goes awry, for instance, when inflation gets out of hand. Inflation, one of the most common problems in macroeconomics, refers to an increase in the general level of prices. Inflation makes people feel poorer but, perhaps more important, rising andespecially volatile prices make it harder for people to figure out the real values of goods, services, and investments. For these and other reasons, most people (and economists) dislike inflation.

But where does inflation come from? The answer is simple: Inflation comesabout when there is a sustained increase in the supply of money. When peoplehave more money, they spend it, and without an increase in the supply of goods, prices must rise. As Nobel laureate Milton Friedman once wrote: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.”

The United States, like other advanced economies, has a central bank; in the United States that bank is called the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has the power and the responsibility to regulate the supply of money in the American economy. This power can be used for good, such as when the Federal Reserve holds off or minimizes a recession. But the poweralso can be used for great harm if the Federal Reserve encourages too much growth in the supply of money. The result will be inflation and economic disruption.

In Zimbabwe, the government ran the printing presses at full speed for many years. By the end of 2007, prices were rising at an astonishing rate of 150,000 percent per year. The United States has never had a problem of this scope or anything close to it but inflation remains a common concern.

Amazingly, the inflation rate in Zimbabwe kept rising. In January of 2008, the government had to issue a 10-million-dollar bank note (worth about 4 U.S. dollars), and a year later they announced a 20-trillion-dollar note that bought about what 10 million dollars had a year earlier. In early 2009, the inflation rate leaped to billions of percent per month! Finally, in April of 2009 the government stopped issuing the Zimbabwean dollar altogether and permitted trade using foreign currencies such as the South African rand and U.S. dollar.
