Capitalism works at the risk of exploitation. Socialism can work at the risk of stagnancy. As with most americans, I believe that a strong work-ethic is what makes someone worthy of living in my country, and that is my fundamental disagreement with socialism.
Capitalism works because of its benefits not its pitfalls. It is a flexible system that shortens the time between demand and supply. It is responsive. Being exploitive is not any good in capitalism... poor workers make crap consumers.

And Socialism done right is not about coddling but enhancing the citizens. If the aim of Socialism is to raise up the abilities of people and help make them individuals who are highly educated and motivated that is Socialism done right.

And with Socialism and Capitalism you can actually mix the two models under a Democratic model.
