In a capitalist society, the doctor goes to school for 25 years because he can afford to, and then get huge amounts of cash. The McDonalds worker doesn't go to school because he can't afford it, and ends up poor.
In a capitalist society, the doctor is paid whilst going to school, and whilst working. The McDonalds worker is paid the same. So long as both contribute as much as they reasonably can to society, both receive the same benefits.
The key difference? In capitalism, it doesn't matter who's smarter, only who has more cash. In communism, both have the same amount of money, the smarter one becomes a doctor, and therefore more lives are saved. Both appreciate the contribution the other makes to society.
No, you don't get it. Here on planet Earth, the doctor gets out of school weighed down with student loans, and still is only making a modest living because he is an intern and not in residency.
Here on planet Earth ( America) there is govt. loans and grants for people that want to apply and get educated. There is also trade school. NOT to mention the fact that all you need in America to be quite successful is a HS diploma. There are plenty of people who are well off, if not down right rich, and haven't been to college. Christ, a fucking prisoner can get a college degree in America if he wanted one, FOR FREE!!
Capitalism is, WE have the freedom and opportunity to be successful, I got mine, now you go get yours. It is not hey buddy, relax, I will go bust my ass for both of us.
Does drive, ambition, play a part in success, on your world, or do you all just sit back and let someone else handle it for you?
You really have stepped on your dick this time by suggesting a fast food worker earns the same quality of life and compensation for his efforts, as a doctor or a lawyer or a pilot or any middle class worker. If I still need to prove that you are a liberal/ socialist/communist these last few posts of yours is my proof. What a bunch of complete and utter bullshit
I would love to see your reaction when you found out that your college educated, technical training and experience in your career, pays the same as the lady who empties the trash. I guarantee it won't be, well good for her, she earned it after all.
