comment on Capitalism is slavery

Justin:   ...These people keep calling capitalism slavery. But in capitalism you have options, you can change your job, increase your wealth, get paid more for working harder.


William: Justin, you do not have options in Capitalism. You get thrown in the garbage. You cannot just "change your job" My career (VFX rotoscope artist) got sent overseas. I worked for twenty five years developing my skills. When the stock market crashed, I got laid off, I didn't work for two years. I sent out ONE THOUSAND RESUMES. I lost my condo. My life was destroyed. My entire career was outsourced to China and India.  CAPITALISM THROWS PEOPLE IN THE GARAGE. By every standard of quality of living, the lower classes in the European Union have a much better quality of life than in the USA. I do NOT care WHAT you call it, but EU capitalism does NOT throw people in the garbage like the USA throws people in the garbage. Just look at pictures of Detroit and East Cleveland. There is no city anywhere in the European Union that looks anything like Detroit, East Cleveland, or many other cities in America. Just look at videos of the homeless camps in California. THERE are NO homeless camps like this anywhere in Europe. There are 60,000 people living in the streets and gutters of Los Angeles. America is a prison. Capitalism is slavery. Sorry. I do not care what you call it, but when the combined wealth of the lower 50% of an entire USA society is equal to the combined wealth of the three wealthiest people, then you are describing a virtual plantation. These are the facts. Call it what you like, but I call it slavery.
