In response to baseball's comments:

It'd be great if we could improve our current system,
but that's not likely to happen when the rich wield so
much lobbying power in our government. Like a tick
that just digs in deeper to maintain it's position,
the capitalists will fight to maintain the status quo,
or further tip the scales in their favor. Trying to
make the best of the system we have will eventually
lead to a breakdown of the system. The growing
disparity between rich and poor, along with the
gradual elimination of the middle-class, will
eventually set the stage for revolution. At some point
everyone who is being exploited by the capitalist
system will get fed up with it, and cast it off.
Realistically, that's the only way I can see any
positive change for the laborers in our country.
