Socialism 2

There is a serious problem with socialism that seemed to be prettyclear to me, and that is motivation. If money is redistributed equally to all people no matter what, then we are only wealthy as long as we as people are willing to work. What this means is that if everyone gets the same amount of money then what i the oint in working, people will slowly lose motivation to work at all since they will be payed anyways. Once enough people stop working, the amount of money that is being given to the people will be lowered and before you know it the united states will as a people be in poverty. This idea also betrays the idea of getting payed for how hard you worked, the concept that you earn what you earn and if you dont work then you do not earn money.

Socialism

Micheal Moore states that socialism will be the same as all of the major religions and that we need to embrace a free and open society where a strong moral and ethical code exists. Part of this i would agree with and pert i would not because of how different belief systems work. I would entirely agree with the idea of having a strong moral code where people are selfless and work together to have a peaceful society, however when everythin and everyone is made equal to one another in the context that socialism would embrace, problems would arise. Before we even got to a socialistic economy we have to realize that we are a diverse people with various beliefs, many of which are so set up against one another that the people would never be able to arive to a solid conclusion as to what the proper society should look like.
