Here's my "Occupy Wallstreet" question. Is this movement going to make an "anti-Capitalism" argument? Because from where I sit the real problem here is quality of life. Youth, the Poor, the Elderly, Minorities, and Children are largely suffering from an increasingly poor quality of life in this "recovery". Typically we solve this problem by stimulating the sales of gadgets and widgets... but we're out of credit. Thus we aren't buying... and we aren't hiring... So it seems unlikely that jobs will help improve our collective quality of life. So, kids on Wallstreet: Are you capitalists?
Yes

So what do you think it will improve your "collective quality of life?""
Laziness? Begging? Moaning? Theft?
I love capitalism, gives everyone a chance to succeed. We do not have capitalism or a free market. I also don't think it should be up to the government to take care of this. Sounds bad right? Here is why I believe this, the more you ask the government to do the larger it gets and the more money it takes away from me and you and the more power it has over me and you and the more it can be influenced by Wall Street . Then you have the issues we face right now. If people really cared about youth, the poor etc. then they would use there own money to help these people. The Government isn't here to take care of us from cradle to grave. We should not ask the Government to do something because it would be moral or right to do so but it needs to stay within the confines of the Constitution. Which it does not and once again leads to all of these issues.
