<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7409538, member: 26302&quot;]I never said we had done it correctly, I am pointing out capitalism can be modified to create correct economic signals to pay for damage to commons. Remember the famous incident of the Pinto where Ford calculated it was cheaper to pay wrongful death lawsuits than fix the car? Well, when the price of the wrongful death lawsuits changed, it changed the economic calculation and the cars were fixed. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of this can be done rationally without destroying the engine which you today enjoy the benefits of, without needing to steal from some due to human&#039;s unfortunate nature of being envious. All of this &quot;tax the 1%&quot; nonsense is pure greed and envy, and if we succumb to this most base of human emotions we all suffer. The USSR was a very good example of socialism, nearly everyone was equal. They were all starving and had miserable qualities of life, but EQUALLY.</p><p><br /></p><p>Myself, I choose instead to congratulate those who are successful and try hard to become successful myself. Always ask yourself, what have you done TODAY, or THIS YEAR, to make yourself more successful. Don&#039;t wait for a handout like a pauper, put on your big boy pants and do it yourself. Making yourself more successful helps everyone. People becoming millionaires help everyone. Personal success is the best way to help your fellow man.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
