The truth is, neither socialism nor capitalism is sustainable in their purest form. Unbridled capitalism only breeds unbridled greed, acute disparity, social stratification, simmering resentment amongst the disenfranchised, and eventually, social unrest and/or revolution. Thus, even the most ardent capitalist societies have elected to absorb some elements of socialism in order to make peace with the population. For instance, welfare safety net is instituted to offer reprieve to people who have fallen on hard luck; or government-funded education is administered to children across all socioeconomic class to generate upward social mobility. These policies are probably socialist by nature but everyone regardless of ideological leaning has come to take them for granted. The bottom line is, the capitalism as we know it today has already been mitigated and held back by a series of socialist policies implemented throughout past decades. With all due respect, retarded capitalism may find its identical twin in bastardized socialism e.g. socialism with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, crusade against alleged socialist notion is not all that dissimilar to tilting at windmills............timchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111222701486237611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-44570281068526648562013-07-25T14:51:52.282-07:002013-07-25T14:51:52.282-07:00http://media.daum.net/entertain/enews/view?newsid=...http://media.daum.net/entertain/enews/view?newsid=20120924183305862<br /><br />http://06web.co.kr/index.php?mid=com_2&document_srl=146373Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-85900620726243540872013-07-25T07:55:42.196-07:002013-07-25T07:55:42.196-07:00My anti-virus blocks that site lol.

For ex...Sure, anyone can think someone is overpaid. For example, I think Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys is overpaid. He got a 6 year/$100 million contract. Do I think he's worth that, considering the Cowboys can't even make the playoffs? Hell no, but I'm not bitching that he even got that much money. Jerry Jones obviously saw the value in him to pay him that much, and it's probably justified from Romo's stats, jersey sales, etc.<br /><br />However, provided that someone or something is overvalued, the market correct that. If a sports player is washed up, he won't be signing his next contract for $15 million a year when teams only value him for $3 million a year. If a stock is overvalued and is currently $70, over time the market will correct itself and the stock will fall down to $50. It's the same with actors. They have a short period of time where they are able to draw salaries this high. Eventually, when the market decides that they're not worth as much, the stars will make less.<br /><br />And no, I'm not Republican. I'm a libertarian, something that the liberal mainstream media likes to point to as "right-wing terrorists" just for wanting people to pull their own weight and for the government to stop interfering in everything.<br /><br />Nayeon's Vibratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084865239924176871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-54612028378271439612013-07-24T13:39:01.133-07:002013-07-24T13:39:01.133-07:00You talk as if there are only the two extremes... ...You talk as if there are only the two extremes... which is, forgive me for saying this, super-Republican.<br />I also couldn't read all of your blog post, because it seemed so clichéed at times.<br />Besides, one could argue that some stars are fundamentally over-paid.

If the askingi s deemed too high or they ask way over what they worth, the production has all the power to say no and cast someone else within their budget. You can't spur on what is out of your means/budget and later complaining it's some one else's faulse to make you spend over your limit.<br /><br />Though a Hallyu stars studded cast doesn't guarantee to yield a good return (good rating and all the CF $$ that come with a successful rating). If the scrip/plot/production sucks no one can save a skinking ship...<br /><br />It's just my general comment, not particular about this Faith production.
