Capitalism without a healthy does of the regulation that you folks would describe as socialism is not "freedom" for anyone other than the very rich capitalists.Socialism is theft as it takes from those that produce and gives it to someone who didn't. Socialist ideology promises to reward the workers but, in fact, socialist states ultimately TAKE what the workers have produced and doom them to a lower standard of living.
Capitalism = freedom. Capitalism = the freedom to work as hard and as smart as you want and to be able to keep more of what you produce. It's not a Utopia. It isn't perfect, but it's lifted FAR more people out of poverty than any other economic system and it's not close. And don't tell me that Denmark and Norway are socialist states; they are NOT.
Ask the folks that worked in sweatshops as child laborers. Oh wait..ya can't. They died young
