criticizes capitalism

Everyone who criticizes capitalism, especially the state of capitalism in this country, IS NOT advocating socialism, just like everyone who criticizes greed IS NOT against profit or accumulating wealth.
Is everyone who is poor, poor because they're lazy? Out of work because the don't want to work?
ARE THERE JOBS FOR EVERYONE? No! And that is because of the economy, and if you believe that rich people are the 'job makers' you should be addressing what are they doing about it.
Austerity budgets, trickle down economics, and low corporate taxes have not, are not, and will not work.
An economy that works for everyone is probably as unattainable as an economy with 100% employment, but an economy that supports everyone, by attempting to create a job for everyone is preferable to an economy that just seeks to promote profit and wealth for the few.
But of course, that might involve Government job/work programs and that would be seen as 'socialism'. In spite of the fact that they have worked in the past. Putting more money into circulation by putting wages into the hands of the unemployed is better for any economy than putting money in the hands of those who hoard it.

p.s.   France and Greece are not the only examples of Socialism... and not all there problems are a result of socialism.  Look at the Scandinavian countries... most seem to think that they are doing quite well.
