Capitalism in USA has yielded more in prison than any other country.

Zero to do with capitalism and everything to do with a huge chunk of our population being anti-social and immoral, which is a result of leftist social policy that discourages two parent, stable family formation.

Capitalism in Venezuela yielded half the country poor as church mice.

Most people live paycheck to paycheck.

Capitalism in Venezuela yielded half the country poor as church mice.

And Socialism yielded 99% of the country the same.

Not to mention calling what they had before "Capitalism" is disingenuous at best.

This is the most intellectually weak and shallow argument against Capitalism. Those same "paycheck to paycheck" people have 2,000 square foot homes, cell phones, a car, multiple TV's, etc.

Being "poor" under capitalism means you live in the 1% worldwide. Being poor under Socialism means you starve to death.

You can choose if you'd like.
