Gee, where do I start.  Let's see, corrupt government. Incompetent officials.  Brutal police force and military.  Deep religious divide.  Lack of accountability (I guess that goes with the corrupt government).  I would be surprised if it's NOT falling apart.  It has been failing apart for a good part of the past few centuries.

Theoretically it is to help poor countries develop.  In reality the governments lose their autonomy by having to follow the rules of those who are "helping".  Often at the expense of the citizens and more to the reward of the "helping" country.  The biggest offender being the United States.

There will always be poor. However,the government feeds the rich instead of the poor.

No, we are not doing fine. Maybe America is on it's way out. The average government lasts 200 years. Do the math. However, Bush is doing fine, as are the other rich people in the nation. The gap between upper class and low class is widening and middle class is disappearing. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

To my opinion, I don't think poverty will ever become history. No matter how good the economy is, there will always be people going through wealth and poverty. There are tons of people in this world and there are always not enough food to feed people. The world can't benefit everyone, anytime.

Socialism. Trickle down economics has put more people in the poor house than it has helped. When money is the ruler of the country you only get what you pay for. Corruption, greed, and scandals.

There may be a conflict here, however  you can not have one with out the other.  True Capitalism will only work in a true democracy.  Whenever the government steps in to control all business you will usually find one type of totalitarian government or the other running things and this takes capitalism out of the equation and make for a very dreary life for those working in that country.  Capitalism is a system of hope, if you are poor in a capitalist society you have hope of climbing out of being poor.  In a non-capitalist society if you are poor that is where you can expect to stay.

For development to flourish, good government is required that supports development.  There is not a great deal of good government in Africa.  Until the governments improve there will be no development.  Granted there may be attempts at development but it will not flourish.  \n\nRegrettably, you are probably wasting your time.

Excellent question.\n\nGreed weakens the economy.\n\nPeople need to work together, appreciate one another for what they are worth.  That is the right way to get rich.

Besides the fact that the Government/Economy of Puerto Rico is totally screwed up, what crisis are you referring to?

Generally, low developing countries are poor ... not just the people, but the government itself. And for the government to meet its obligations, it often simply makes more money -- but this additional currency leads to the devaluation of the existing currency and leads to inflation.

well gee, then the poor would get even poorer, right?  \n\nI don't get why your question is directed at Republicans. \nI pay a shitload of taxes, and i'm lower middle class, as well as self employed which means i pay more taxes.

The answer to social problems is not capitalism or communism, it is somewhere in between ... ideally humanism  applied in governmental form. Sadly power and corruption at the top level generally ensures that which ever system is in operation is mis-used to the detriment of the masses and therefore doomed to eventually fail .... bummed out  millions versus bunkered government ... no contest, if you see what I mean.

Our system works because everyone strives for a better life.  Our system falls down when people don't contribute to society.
