What are we supposed to debate? I don't get it.
Since Communism fails, Capitalism is the default state, and Socialism hasn't actually been tried, none.
Actually, many European countries have a number of greatly Socialistic properties, and they are doing fine.
Why is it the government's job to ensure that everyone isn't too rich or too poor? (Especially the first?) Why can't I be as rich as I can get, if I earn it honestly? Who are you to say that I'm too rich, and I deserve to have my money taken away from me?Your supposed to debate what government you think is most efficient and better for the people. I will start off by saying that I think a Socialism is best because it incorporates the benifits of the free market with a government that makes sure no one is too rich or too poor.
Kleptocracy!

Capitalism is the only one that does and always will work. Communism and Socialism-Against human nature & impossible
In capitalist systems, society is ruled by the individual. Who would want to live any other way? In socialist systems, society is ruled by the state. Why would one want to live like that?
I'll take the system where the government's role is limited to ensuring individual rights and private individuals are free to own, trade and act without coercion. Keep in mind that everyone acts in his own perceived self-interest.
I think it's obvious what I choose. Capitalism is the only system that has worked , worked well, and will continue to work well into the future.
