pretty well put but its a straw man argument nobody is really arguing for full fledged socialism or full fledged capitalism, neither work in the long run, a mix of capitalism and socialism are prevalent in any successful society, capitalism forefront and socialism as a last resort safety-net to cover basic necessitys
i (and most of the world) don't think their should be greed in industrys like healthcare... i don't necessarily agree with nationilizing health insurance, i've got a different approach, ELIMINATE HEALTH INSURANCE, you shouldn't need to "insure" your well being with the technology available doctor visits shouldn't even be at the obscene rates they are they should be at affordable rates that wouldn't cause people to have to rely on insurance just to make sure that your kid is ok when he has something wrong
so yeah greed is fine in certain aspects but unregulated greed will just lead to problems down the line (see - the shithole we're in now)
