Scandanavia, Finland, the UK and the Netherlands etc. all have socialistic societies, and they are also capitalist nations just not unbridled, unregulated avaricious capitalism. They also have universal health care and many other benefits which are stipulated by the state. The worker's benefits are not subject to the employer's generosity, or not. And yet they have thriving industries and some of them even have monarchies.

Socialism is when the workers control the means of production. Your definition is incorrect and meaningless. Modern American capitalism is where executives, who do no real work and produce nothing, extract wealth from workers who actually make things and then use that money to bribe politicians into rigging the system in their favor so they socialize their losses and privatizing their profits so they can hoard wealth. Then they pay pundits to blame immigrants for bad pay and bad working conditions and distract workers from the fact that wealthy people could just pay their workers more instead of taking exorbitant bonuses, salaries and stock by backs.

Are you on the right thread, racist? This is the one about you wanting socialism for 7-11, for some st00pid reason.

I realize gascan that the two have the same meaning to many and maybe even you but, consider the different definition of "giving" and "taking" There is a difference. Giving is a Christian virtue. Taking is a Liberal concept

Moral is taking from someone that has worked and earned it and giving it to someone who has not?

How can that be moral?

I retract my LOL.

I'm not saying capitalism is good or bad, but anyone - not you - who would claim it cares one whit for morality is insane.

How can you pretend to support capitalism when you don't understand how it works, st00pid?

In capitalism, not everyone survives. 7-11 has to compete with places like Sheetz, and it isn't.

Jesus. You get more simple every day.

Someone and there is someone on here with the business smarts to help this struggling company out of their situation. Evidently someone at the top of management does not see the bright glowing economy through the same set of rose colored as "someone on here, Come Anti, SAVE THIS BUSINESS
