    why steal it from the poor and then blame the Poor for allegedly being lazy? equal protection of the law and equality is what socialism is about.

    In your preferred version of Capitalism, the 'poor' become the masters, demanding that the worker feeds and houses them. Like Queen Bees.

    Exactly. Equal effort for an equal slice of the pie. No effort, no pie.

    not sure what you mean. employment is at-will. just quit your day job if you are not that hard working; real men should not complain.

    Please do. And congratulate him for being born a Doctor in Nigeria.

    Of course, being born black in Nigeria might even be more "privileged" than being born black in America

    It means that only Capitalism can fund the non-productive. Socialism does not generate sufficient surplus to fund non-productive citizens. Ergo, you are lobbying for Capitalism.

    Capitalism's has a natural rate of unemployment. Solving for that is socialism and could function like insurance. Employment is at the will of either party in our at-will employment States.

    Could've been less of an effort if he had been born white in America.

    When the worker funds the non-worker, you are engaging in master/slave Capitalism.

    Socialism would solve that problem, yes, because it demands that all participate (work).

    Right .. right. Because POC are doing so terribly in the academic climate of the Western World. All those Asians, Africans, and Indians failing at school because of the evil white man and his damned privilege.

    how socialist of you; requiring a work ethic. why blame the Poor? Capitalism is about Voluntary social transactions not the coercive use of force of the State.

    That's the most Marxist statement I have seen on this forum in quite a while. So when workers make money for non-working investors, to you that's master-slave Capitalism?

    All systems require that everybody work.

    I would say I don't know what you're talking about. But obviously you don't know what you're talking about either.

    The solution is to quit crying about what other people have earned and get a job.

    Capitalism has a natural rate of unemployment and employment relationships are at the will of either party.

    yes; it is the Law. Don't be illegal to the law but whine about less fortunate illegals.

    Only if you don't understand that Socialism and Libertarianism have quite a bit in common.

    I've never claimed that I'm not a Socialist.

    Meantime, what kind of fantasist thinks a work ethic is optional?
