That in socialism, the lawn mower, would be the "shared item" by the community, and you could use it to cut it yourself. No one would be paid. No union dues.
If you felt like getting somebody else to do it, you could offer payment.
Too bad capitalism would have only offered $1 to cut the yard, then charged him 1.25 for use of the lawnmower.
Thats completely false, I see people mowing other people's yards ALL the time... so for you to say that, is completely wrong and stupid...
However, to the OP, sure that's capitalism but what we have now is NOT capitalism, it is corporatism... its fine that you support capitalism but know that what we have now and in the past was never TRUE capitalism otherwise we would be in a much better place...
The scenario is not exactly true, in true capitalism it would be more like $15... socialism would be more like $5... for the same job...
I don't have any kids. And in a true capitalist world there are no taxes. Taxes are nothing more than thft by government. Socialism if you wil.
Taxes are not necessary. Everything you talk about has been provided by the private sector and at a cheaper cost than we pay through taxes.
Ah, so no government for you at all. I just wonder where the diabled, the elderly and the orphans will go in this system. Since they have nothing to offer to gain money, who will take care of them?

Right. But I wasn't talking about corportism. I was talking about capitalism.

Ireland had no governemnt for 400 years. Families took care of their own.
It still happens all the time. Children have nothing to offer financially. Their parents take care of them.
