Ok it's the CEO's property. Lets say he owns an acre of land with a factory. It's his land, you think he can dump whatever the hell he wants onto that land? Remember its his land. Lets dump all the toxic and radioactive chemicals in there. Hey it's my company, I'm gonna be so sucessful and make a monopoly. Hey, I'm getting better, lets own everything, jack the prices up and fuck people over. Is that what you want?

Socialism is not lets all be lazy, its more about helping everyone out. I thought community service in your high school taught you enough.
can't argue with that..lol...
can't understand it so it's hard to argue with it?   
Socialism doesn't work... it has been tried many times... same result
Socialism does work, but for very communal cultures (which culture isnt really?). I'm all for capitalism, but when its done to the point of unsustainable nature, it fucks everyone over. Everything needs to be in checked. I feel bad for Americans, they pay so much fucking tax its ridulous, and no free health care. Taiwanese people only pay around 20% while americans would pay around 40%, we get free health care etc. Some things would need to be in control by the gov, like the fire department, while others are more effective in private corporations, such as consumer products.

Some things should be owned by the gov, like oil instead of corporate fat cats who jacked the price of oil way way way too high. As I said, I'm all for capitalism, but not laize-faire, that shit didn't work post reconstruction did it? There always need a check and balance. No gov control fucks shit over, total gov control fucks shit over too.
Good points.  Even though I have many Libertarian leanings, I have to agree that a certain amount of regulation and government involvement is necessary -- especially when looking at how ineffective some of our private markets are at being affordable (like healthcare).
