Could a person on welfare survive if they would put forth the effort to join a capitalist society? Yes
What if that person is a child or disabled?

Don't be such a drama queen, O'Reilly....and any idiot posting a link to the liberal wet dream rant in a regional section should have their head examined.
what happens when the billionaire innovators decide to take their ball and go home, that it just isn't worth it anymore to work for the collective? Sure someone else would step in for a little while, but they too would eventually tire from working for others eventually we all would be looking for handouts. See Greece, Spain, France, Atlas Shrugged etc for examples.
cynic started this thing some of us are just offering our two cents...
Can a company prosper without government? No. Every billionaire you see in the United States got help. Every single one. They got help in the fact that they didn't have to pay bribes for security, to open their doors, or to expand. They got help that in that they had a highly developed infrastructure to produce and bring their products to market. Any tech company got help in the way their consumers were educated enough to use their products, and employees smart enough to design them.
I'm sick of low intelligent, moronic, and simply tired arguments against government and the poor. They're not original. You probably haven't had an original thought in your entire life. Regardless, this sort of sh*t doesnt even belong in a Regional thread....
You make a false comparison. You're saying that a developing economy that was New York City of the 19th century is different than the mature economy it is today... yeah, sorry.. that is true.
But we have 6 times the people living in the US than we did then. As population grows, things will need to get more and more interconnected, much to the chagrin of you 1880s nostalgiaists. (That damn government, taking away my cheap, child labor -- HOW DARE THEY!)
As far as bribes go, the US is pretty good comparatively. You decry government, but take for granted the stability it provides. You want limited government? Try Somalia. I hear at that place you can do whatever you want without the government breathing down your neck!
14 years of war in Afghanistan bankrupted the Soviets...And using your reasoning, look at the old soviet union and how that turned out!!!
Is that the story you are going to with? Are you sure.....?14 years of war in Afghanistan bankrupted the Soviets...
We could never be that stup.... oh.
