Great Depressions only happen under laissez-fair capitalism, not socialism.Because we needed more socialism to bailout lazy, laissez-fair capitalism.Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
You'll have to explain why you feel it failed.
The banking system failed, capitalism worked (and works) just fine.
Sorry but you are wrong. Socialism is a failure where ever it has been. Socialism depends on no greed, man is inherently greedy. Socialism always has the elite.
What do you call the Scandinavian countries? They do quite well and some say they have a form of socialism.

How's that awesome socialist economy in Venezuela?
Must be great with no capitalism anywhere.
Take a political science class as you don't know shit...How's that awesome social democratic south Korean, Germany or British economy doing is more like it...Venezuela is a dicatorship of one man at the top with little political power for the people...You really fucking think I want to fuck over the little guy with idiotic policies like in Venezuela? Lol....NO, I want that 50, 60 thousand per capita in much of western europe that has worked for decades.
Many economies such as the United States have a mixed economy capitalism and socialism, and maybe even a dash of communism and a light sprinkling of fascism.

His concern about the debt is shown by his $9.3 trillion addition to it.
It would have been $11- $12 trillion without the Republican sequester slowing his free spending ways.

Why CEOs Make So Much Money
CEOs are like kings. They aren't elected to their position, they are appointed. Usually after several years of grueling internecine political warfare, back-stabbing colleagues and gerrymandering the organization. Once in the position, they pretty much get to set their own pay.
Yep, that's very true. They make the money they do because not many are able to perform the way they can.
A few years ago I purchased a new big screen. I'm not much of a television watcher, but I became one. I started to watch the show Big Bang Theory, and got interested in the cast. So I looked them up on the internet.
Turns out these are very wealthy people. They each get one million dollars per episode plus cuts when their shows get rerun and various other perks. It's a half-hour show. Take out the commercials, it's about 20 minutes. There are about eight or nine major players in the show, so how long could each one act, 2 to 5 minutes?????
I'm sure some of them put a lot of time into their career, took some risks, obviously have talents, but compared to a CEO that went through college, worked his or her way up the ladder, making business relationships, making political relationships, moving from town to town, yet they make a fraction of the money some in the entertainment field do, yet nobody on the left ever comments yet alone complains about the money actors make.
Being overpaid is probably the only thing those two have in common. The ceo at the television station makes the decision that they are making enough money off the show to pay the actors what they get. If the show isn't good it gets cancelled.
CEO's are giving themselves large raises. The complaints come because he is giving himself much larger raises than everyone else. And the feeling is a company only has so much for compensation and the CEO is taking so much the people doing the real work get very little. A ceo with good people below him can get away with doing very little.
Why did a Great Depression happen in the first place, with more, rather than less, laissez-fair capitalism?
It was simply, lousy economic management. We didn't have the understanding of economics then, we have now.
What actually ended the Great Depression, but the socialism of a wartime economy on a wartime footing.

I agree with you. Many however seem to think the US is pure capitalism while all of Europe is all socialism.

And the feeling is a company only has so much for compensation and the CEO is taking so much the people doing the real work get very little. A ceo with good people below him can get away with doing very little.
And right there you hit the nail on the head. You actually believe that a CEO is taking pay away from other workers. There is no truth to that.
It's just like with the acting. How much do you think their hair people make? How about their makeup people? How about the stage hands? What about the people who actually create the episodes or write the jokes for the show? Do you believe any of them are near the pay scale of the actors themselves? And if you paid the actors less, would all those other people get more money?
I used to know a guy who was a drummer. Not bad drummer, but certainly not one of the best I've ever seen. Because his love was music, he became a roadie for a somewhat famous band. Yeah, he traveled around with them, set up and tore down the equipment, met a lot of interesting people, a lot of beautiful girls, but the job didn't pay squat. He would have made out better working here at McDonald's. The musicians of the band? Very wealthy and living the good life.
People get paid what they are worth. In other words, your worth to an employer is only as much as the next person willing to do the same job with the same quality. It doesn't matter if you're a CEO or a floor sweeper. If you are not bringing in money or contributing more than you get paid by a company, a company has no use for you.
CEO pay? If a CEO has a track record of increasing revenue of companies by 35%, then you pay that CEO what he wants or your competitor will and take business away from your company. That's just how it works.

Why did you bring up Scandinavian countries then? Just throwing out crap and seeing what sticks?
Why do republican want black people to live under bridges and on street corners?
Why not fund education and make adding additional job making skills easier...Oh'noo''s we can't do that as that would mean the big bad government....Give me a break.

The actors are not deciding any of the pay.

Due to the confusion. Without asking I don't know if your somebody who thinks all of Europe is socialism or not.
They are not socialist countries, please read up on what socialism is, Socialism is the prohibition of an elite, Scandinavian countries have an elite class. The disqualifies them from being true socialists.
