How do you know the future of the country is to be capitalist? With fatalism like that, it's no surprise that the socialist movement implodes on itself constantly.
I think one can safely wager on the fact that the proportion of greedy individuals wont change under an independant administration..............

Course it won't. Nor will it change under a "socialist" system as opposed to a "capitalist" system. I'd love to know Sam's proposals for removing those people

Well, what I was pointing out, in relation to the debate is that "capitalism" feeds off the "greedy individuals", whereas the "greedy individuals" feed off socialism,
Renedering both of them innefective as balanced and fair,
So whether it's a socialist or capitalist scotland the greedy individuals would still be there,

Socialism sets out to be fairer to the majority, Capitalism only survives by continumm of disparity of wealth and resources ensuring that the haves always have the social and economic advantage over the have nots.

The major downfall of both systems I would definately say are the greedy individuals.

So, how do we "socially engineer" greed out of the system?

A non greedy scotland would make me very proud.

Sever all ties with the United Kingdom and become The Republic Of Scotland. More income from our Oil & Gas sector would lead to better living costs - the greddy would still be greedy, but at least the rest of us could live our lives comfertably.
