sdbest, if you like socialism, there are plenty of countries with high unemployment, high taxes, high government control of your life...

And little chance of moving up the economic ladder.

Hey if you think everyone should be equally miserable...
I know this may come as a shock but

"Recent studies suggest that there is less economic mobility in the United States than has long been presumed. The last thirty years has seen a considerable drop-off in median household income growth compared to earlier generations. And, by some measurements, [the United States is] actually a less mobile society than many other nations, including Canada, France, Germany and most Scandinavian countries. This challenges the notion of America as the land of opportunity." [Source]

I know this will be impossible, but--in the light of the outcomes--you may want revisit your views on both capitalism and socialism.
