Firstly, that is a straw man argument. Secondly, can it not be possible that both communism and capitalism are bad? Thirdly, can't we make people's lives better without awarding 40% of the wealth to 1% of the people, and 22% to 0.1% (2012)? Fourthly, it's not simply about money, because that could be easier to ignore, if it were true that everyone, including those on the bottom, were better off. But money is power. In other words, democracy is thoroughly undermined. All one has to do is see how much money is poured into politicians' coffers and by whom, and for what purpose. Or see that you can't become president without getting $1 billion dollars of "donations" for your campaign. Is it one person one vote or one dollar one vote?
