Whats this? Doctors are illiterate or something? I dont know if you noticed but your favorite bastion of capitalism has a pretty poor record for infant birth mortality. http://dll.umaine.edu/ble/U.S.%20HCweb.pdf more proof that capitalism is the absolute best way to go for everything? and why cant I buy a computer game in a third world country?

No, I dont think that my friends neighbors and family would screw me over if they got the chance. Maybe I have a higher opinion of people than you?

Just because the ussr failed doesnt mean it cant be done and do note that it failed for a bounty of reasons. And, BTW, you hit the nail on the head - gov't re-distributes wealth, > it doesn't create it. Without capitalism the country will eventually > go broke. (again, remember the USSR?) More absolutism.
