Capitalism

America is a capitalist country almost completely run by the wealthy. Capitalism is an economic system in which in which production and pricing of goods and services are determined by privately owned businesses or individuals with little or no interference by the government. This system was set in place to allow people to pursue the profession they wanted with little to interfere with them achieving financial security. This all sounds good on paper but when it's actually put into practice its many flaws start to show.

Capitalism's freedoms have given America one of the stronger economies of the world, but those freedoms are also hurting the economy given people's greed less restraint. Outsourcing is one example in which businesses have used theses freedoms to make more at the expense of others. The whole thing puts too much enfaces on wealth. You can do anything to anybody in the pursuit of wealth and it's alright, that is the mentality of our capitalist economy. The wealthier you are the more valuable you are to society no matter what you actually do and the scary thing about this group is they determine the way in which the county operates. They are the ones with the resources to bribe politicians to legalize what ever they need to make more no matter what it does to the rest of us and with money being the most important thing in the world what form of integrity is there to decline such bribes. Another rout the wealthy have taken is to have a candidate of there own run for office. This makes such endeavors as rolling back the emission standards of SUVs which makes production costs of General Motors go down or suppression of funding to alternative fuel programs. These are the people that truly run the country, it doesn't matter how their actions affect others because a persons wealth equates to that persons value and compared with them the middle class are pretty insignificant. When any question to the justice of it all is raised it is dismissed as irrelevant, of course their concerns of their own well being aren't valued or acted on they aren't wealthy.

The bad part about all of this is that people don't make them take responsibility for what they do; they just sort of accept it. That whole mentality of the rich being right every actually works. People don't say that's not right they just take it and work harder to get wealthier; they actually accept the worthless label and try to make themselves less worthless by making more money. It's a discussing way to look at the world, to look at the finically less fortunate and say their worthless without taking into account the possibilities of mental disorders, in access to higher education, or their job being sent over seas.

The whole country is messed up in the way people see their role in society.

One of the biggest ways that Americans are being taken advantage of in is health care. It's ridiculous that people are charged as much as they are for something so essential as seeing a doctor when they are sick or injured. It's disgusting that at the hospital down
