When it gets to this point it stops being about compensation and begins to be about having a damn good time.

I honestly wouldn't recognize Johnny Depp if I passed him on the street. I really don't know what he looks like.

Again, all the lobbyists and rules are not capitalism. That's crony capitalism and it's terrible. True capitalism is just giving everyone the freedom to do what they want with their own business, money, and all transactions. America hasn't had it, probably ever.
Also, the system in most socialist European countries is failing and they are trying to figure out what to do to fix it. Denmark deregulated the market to try to get people to work again because they ran out of money. Sweden is making laws to force people to spend money instead of saving, because the market came to a standstill. Socialism just doesn't work. It never has, and never will. It removes incentives from people to work, it stalls the economy, the poor don't improve long term, and everyone loses freedom.

The occupy movement wants to make it even harder by increasing taxes. They think all businesses are evil, but don't take into account the fact that 27 million businesses in this country are small businesses. Those are the ones being screwed over by high taxes. The poor are the ones who lose their opportunity and freedom in a socialist system.

@guest - I know because of the link at the bottom and I am familiar with the occupy movement.

@keepsake - freedom for everyone. Capitalism has generated so many rags to riches stories, I can't even begin to count them. In a free market, anyone is free to start their own business and succeed. The big businesses should only be kept in business by the consumers buying their products, not by the government (which is what is going on in the US now - false monopolies caused by government interference in the market, also known as crony capitalism) You definitely give freedom to the poor by lowering taxes. No question. It's more money in their pockets to work with. Giving everyone equal opportunity is what capitalism is all about. Everyone has the chance to succeed. A poor person has a much harder time succeeding when they try to start a business and have to pay exuberant taxes on everything. I know. I'm trying to start a small business right now and it's damn near impossible.

You know how heavy that would be? I mean, even with a ladder, it would be difficult to get some of those snowballs up a ladder because they'd be really heavy.

The sad thing is the creator of this graphic thinks the solution to these problems is socialism.
Fact: capitalism is responsible for dropping the number of people in the world living in absolute poverty from 55% to under 10% in the last 20 years.
Fact: Things only get bad in America when the government gets involved in business. It's called crony capitalism. Yes, it's bad. But it's different than capitalism.
Fact: There is an undeniable correlation between a growing economy and a decrease in poverty. Socialism is proven to stop economic growth. Even Bernie Sanders didn't argue with that.
Fact: Socialism has always lead to freedom being taken away. Every. Time.
Yes, there is a lack of good education in this country. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be so many people brainwashed into believing in socialism by a career politician's lies. Again.

Not with the new movie. Thankfully they are moving back to more classic special effects, and using real props. They built a life size Millenium Falcon!!!
