I agree with RQ.
We don't need to totally change capitalism. However adding a little bit of socialism in it better the thing for almost everyone. I know I'm ansewring lately but I went to bed.
...but society is fucking EVERYONE in the ass! The rich are getting fucked by the government, while you're getting fucked by the rich, who keep wages down because they're getting fucked in the ass, and because they're bastards. Meanwhile, the government is further deducting wages to send people poorer then yourself to school, as well as provide them with free money, as they proceed to NOT pay taxes and...oh my, what happened to that equality you were providing again?
The rich are hardly fucked by the government.
The government allows them to have access to a stable country with plenty of workforce they can hire and then milk as consumers. It's only normal they have to pay for it.
What the fuck am I reading?
It's the government's job to maintain society, and uphold the law, as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, and thanks to this you can have industries and production center in the country without the fear of them being destroyed.
What I meant is that this allows rich people to have successful business and thus make money. So it's fair to ask a part of this money.
Also having government-subsided education and other basic facilities (medicare, etc.), if you can't afford them, is indeed helping equality. If you free lower classes of some of their financial burden, then can shoot for higher education level, which allows them to "level up" in the social ladder. Whereas it would be impossible if one semester in your uni was worth 1 year of salary of your father.
This also assure you that people will have a good level of education, including in technical domain. This way you can sustain an industry relying on high quality product and high quality trained worker, which allows you not to totally lose against China.
You always, ALWAYS lose to China when it comes to unskilled labor, unless you want to reduce minimum wage, which is always a bad idea. That said, I certainly agree that education needs to be accessible. I don't know what's the best way to do it.
Not always. In the case of production of high amount of product, you have the possibility of automating the process. It doesn't work for everything (for example welding PCB to things, usually plastics, is usually done in China by workers) but in a lot of case you can ditch your herd of unskilled underpaid worker and get shiny machines instead. A good example of this would be the automotive industry.
This way you beat the unskilled worker in amount produced, costs and quality. You still have to use workers, but since you use them for higher-level task, you need them to be better trained. You can also pay them more without impacting the product because of the combination between the high amount of product created and the relative low-amount of worker needed.
This isn't even into the government deciding precisely how much of your wealth is in need of a thorough redistribution, who are a collective of incompetent beurocrats who are a slave to self interest groups and the banks.
Bureaucrats are not incompetent. Western government aren't all corrupt. If you really think your government is nothing but corrupt people trying to steal most of your money you should either move out or start a revolution.
What the fuck am I reading?
I was a little bit harsh because I was tired, sorry.
Saying that your government is made of corrupt and incompetent bureaucrats is just wrong. You're not in a South-Africa dictatorship. No system is perfect and enterprises have their share of incompetent people, you just don't see them.
