Capitalism Is Evil

Capitalism has become far too corrupt to be functional. The economic structure has become suicidal (for example, destroying the atmosphere, which protects us from the sun, to make a dollar, as well as sucking the planet's limited natural resources to make a profit). In the next 10-20 years, the planet's fresh potable water will become incredibly scarce, and the capitalists want to buy it up and sell it to you for a profit, in the name of free trade. This country was formed on the basis of democracy (for the people), and now we've become overly capitalistic (for the wealthy). The government is controlled by the wealthy. The only "freedoms" we have left are to work for the government and spend our money on the government. The puppet government collects absurd amounts of tax money. As far as "freedom of religion" in this country, you have to worship money. Capitalism breeds wealth and poverty, not equality. We thought we were all created equal, but in reality, for one to have more, another must have less, and that¿s not equality. Capitalism closely resembles a pyramid system: the fewer, the richer on the top, while the bottom expands with the poor; this structure is a necessary aspect of capitalism. Equality does not fit into the equation. Capitalism runs on the principle of "competition," which actually turns us all against each other, isolating ourselves; it is contradictory to "cooperation,¿ which is the basis for socialism. We're not saying socialism is the answer; we believe in everyone having an equal chance in living an equal life. Perhaps a democratic-socialist system would be a step towards true equality.
