Week 4: Overview- Capitalism

This week we watched a video on Capitalism and how it is slowly destroying our economy. I enjoyed watching the video because I am very interested in politics and always up for a good debate. However I don't really agree with some of the arguments he tried to make during the video. Yes there are times when it seems like people aren't getting treated the same way because of their socio-economical status but that's just because the ones who are protesting and telling stories in the movie are the ones that got the negative effects of this depression. I feel like either way the economy would have taken a toll at some point, now people are stuck trying to point fingers and find someone to blame when that really isn't going to change anything. Its not George Bush's fault, just because the economy crashed when he was in term doesn't mean he himself caused it to. There are many different decisions in the past that have lead to our economy now and people thought change would come out of electing another president who is just really good at speaking and convincing when really nothing has changed. Yes now people in the lower incomes are getting helped out but you can't just raise tax on the wealthy I mean they have worked hard to get where they are at and deserve to keep the money they make. I just think people are to busy pointing fingers to even take a step back and look at what they could do to try and make things better, we don't more money, we need more hope.
