(#6357) Social democracy is perfect along with capitalism!

     The democratic party is trying very hard to explain the benefits of social democracy along side capitalism. I myself have tried and have found that opposing factions are interwoven with inaccurate information. Social democracy does not inhibit capitalism it actually enhances it. What do I mean? Simply this, Social assurances like universal healthcare, tuition free education, and pensions funded through corporate and individual taxes makes a workforce that is healthy, educated, and secure. Corporations and businesses are privately owned thus still driving innovation and creativity but now with social democracy a supply of intelligent motivated workers who can afford to demand products is increased.
     We see in a few Nordic countries the example to follow. Where inequality is being addressed based upon the work and merit of each individual determines their happiness. The corporations and businesses are still profitable but with this model, corporations and businesses share that profit with the workforce in greater amounts than in our current American model. All of society improves where homelessness and poverty are nearly extinct. A  more healthy and intelligent society is a benefit to all and increases the opportunities for innovation and a desired quality of life. We here in America have tried nearly unfettered capitalism and it is not a benefit to all society. It benefits the wealthy and does little for the vast majority who are co-partners with the wealthy to make e enterprises successful.
     If our goal is to improve our society then we must transition over to a social democracy with capitalism. If we don't then the scenario looks more like lords and serfs. We know the solution and have known for decades but there are people and institutions in power who would not like equality to advance. Instead they would rather equality become nothing more than an antiquity. With social democracy the quality of everyone's life improves, their social mobility is widened and raised, and their economic opportunities expand with their own productive determination. I would much rather live in a society where the people are educated and healthy than one where the best too many can hope for is poverty and despair!
