    Socialism is only as good as the people who do the work. If you get paid the same for working harder, why would you work harder except out of your own generosity? If you get paid more for more work, then you would have a reason, albeit greedy, to do more. The only problem with capitalism is that people who don't want to succeed won't succeed. You could say they deserve it but does any human deserve poverty even out of laziness?
