- An economic system in which the means of production and
distribution are privately or corporately owned and development
is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of
profits gained in a free market
So...What's
the deal with capitalism? it's kinda shitty eh? I'm no politican
but we learned a bit about capitalism in history yesterday
and it seems pretty crappy to me. In my opinion the gist
of it is the rich are getting more money while the poor
get poorer. It's ridiculous. All the money goes to the huge,
faceless corporations that controls an entire monopoly which
dictates the prices we pay for things. All in all, these
huge corporations not only control our life, but screw over
the smaller businesses. There are new McDonalds and Wal-Marts
and other big name stores popping up everywhere and I think
they'll soon control everything unless we make a difference.
Without our money (our = the general population) these companies
are worthless. It amazes me how we continue to buy products
from these big name stores and at the same time drive the
local shops out of business. I'm not just bitching about
everyone else either, I'm talking about me too.
I think the
lead singer of the BFG's put it best when he said, "There
are big name stores everywhere and they're all fucking you
in the ass." Personally I think he's right and we should
all ask ourselves the question, "Is this really where I
want to spend my money?" I dont know about everyone else
but I work fucking hard for my money seeing as how I don't
have a job and I don't want to spend it at any more massive,
bullshit stores. I would rather see a local merchant with
my money than have it go towards the insurance on some rich
guy's third ferrari and a new cattle ranch for his greedy
money sucking corporation. The stores that cut down quality
so they can lower the price and run the local business into
the ground should be stopped bfore it's too late. So next
time you see a McDonalds do a drive-thru-fire-in-the-hole
run for please, 'cause God knows I will...
