These things are normal in Latino countries. People expect so much from the government in the way of social programs but think that the money just falls out of the sky. They hardly understand that taxation goes to pay for the social programs that help support them. One day they'll be protesting against the government giving out a mining contract to a foreign company and then the next day they will complain that there isn't enough health care services or that the roads going to their communities are bad.

Capitalism is the best thing that ever happened to mankind!
Well, for a select few, it sure has been.
Probably you should go live in another country for awhile. I've spent many years living in different cultures and interacting with those same cultures outside of the regular touristic way. It might open your eyes to actually spend real time living in a country other than your own.
Does the seven years I spent outside the united snakes count?
I'm expatriating, again, just as quick as I can.
Depends on where you spent those 7 years. If you spent any time in 3rd world countries you should have been able to see that man is NOT inherently good.
Did you ever watch Lord of the Flies? This is such an accurate depiction of human society. We will always create little groups of people, attempt to govern each other, opine on issues and have more than the next person.
We need to embrace that which you think is a bad quality - it has allowed us to build skyscrapers, bridges, invent steel, make aluminum metal and put satellites in space. These things would not have happened with someone being the boss and the exchange of work/service/labor for money.
