My Experience with Capitalism (United States)
Hello, my name is Azar. I'm a 35 year old man and I moved to the United States a few years ago looking for hope. My old country of Afghanistan was a war zone, and I had to get out. What I heard about the United States which made me leave was that people were saying that great opportunity existed in the United Sates due to it's capitalist society. People were completely wrong. The United States had nothing but a $5 bottle of water and an unemployment rate of 7%. I got a job as a cashier for a local gas station making money just over minimum wage. It's ridiculous to think people are making millions of dollars and I'm here making dirt. I wish I never came to America. I knew a Socialist country would have been a better bet.

(Capitalism- Azar)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the help Stan! With this information, I will now move to a socialist society in hope of social welfare, equal pay, and equal wealth. A capitalist economy was definitely not in my best interest. I've been looking into jobs in other countries such as the Netherlands. I hope they have what I'm looking for. Best regards, Azar.
