Capitalism, right or wrong.

I love it when people throw around words like capitalism, socialism, and Communism.
If you are on the right you are a capitalist, if you are on the left you are a socialist, and if you are neither, you are a Communist(according to Rush). Our love for capitalism has run it's coarse. The lumber barons who cut down the forest without replanting were capitalist. The large and small companies that polluted our planet are capitalist. The one who profit by taking and not replacing are capitalist. Those who want to give yours and my money away are socialist. What we get down to is the childish ranting of, "it is mine". What we need to do is to get rid of the political parties and their rantings.
What we give to Egypt per year to support our capitalist ventures over there, we could pay for every ones health care in the United States. What we give to support capitalism in other countries, we could use to educate our own. In little over 200 years, capitalism has caused recession or depression at least three times. That means that once in every Americans lifetime, greed has hurt us all, yet we continue down the same path. We are so busy pointing out the problems of the world, looking for weapons of mass destruction, searching for ALkida and BinLadden, and telling everyone how they are running their countries wrong, that we fail to look in the mirror. We are the greed merchants of the world, we are the polluters, we are the uneducated and we can't even see that. We are blinded by greed.
"IT'S MINE AND I'M NOT GOING TO SHARE IT"

LORD PLEASE HELP ME TO SEE THAT ALL I HAVE IS YOUR.
