You judging them all as worthless is pretty offensive.

They are worthless, by definition.

Our shared history shows us what happens when the rich control the poor. The rich do horrible things to them and they can't fight back, until they do and then everyone suffers even more.

Those evil evil rich people. Like I said a lot of the atrocities are only possible through the bezzle system. People acting inside their rational self interest helps everyone. The rich should control the poor, assuming the money is sound. It is a disgusting notion to say you should steal from them. Robin hood was nothing but a glorified thief. You should not have a vote in how your country runs simply by existing. You aren't owed anything.

Do you even get what this means? If they are allowed to have lots of power they will ruin the planet and fuck over everyone just to make more money. Imagine this, a struggling poor family(not even on welfare!) has a big polluting chemical planet move in next door. They can't afford to move and the corporation isn't abiding by emission laws because no one can do shit to them. What should they do? Should we say oh well and blame them for not trying harder or something?

They would probably already be slaves, but assuming they weren't already, they could sell themselves to someone more rich. Contracts, etc. 'indentured servitude' if you will.

Then it will turn into might makes right and 99% of us will suffer. I doubt you're significantly wealthy so you'll be in the gutter with the rest of us.

Lol and what, might doesn't already make right? Or it shouldn't? Come now, that's just silly. Like I said capitalism is the only fair system, and it is the best system for the poor. Just watch as this unsustainable socialist hell hole starts to crumble and turn into mexico or w/e... although if all goes according to plan I should be better off than most ^_^
This will probably make most people come to a rude awakening soon enough. Most people shouldn't be able to afford cars, most people shouldn't be able to afford cell phones, and as soon as this whole gross fiat system collapses everything I said will ring true. Its the best system based soley on the fact that the free market will figure things out. Its like nature, but with money. Those who should be in power will be, those who shouldn't be wont be. same goes for who has wealth

And at least with a bad king, you can chop his head off. What do you do in democracy? 3 heads will grow in its place.

Oh and in fact, people acting in their own selfish ways gets more things done. Saw a cool meme about this once, something like "Capitalism: Bread waits on you Socialism: You wait in the bread line"
Here's a short clip of Ayn Rand on Socialism and Dictatorship. Might open your eyes a bit guys, but this thread has almost derailed so ill end my arguments with this.
