Is capitalism by it's nature self-destructive? Stories like this make me wonder if it has to be saved from itself.

With all the recomendations ,studies, aid facilities one would think we could get a handle on poverty. The problem lies partly with those in poverty as proven by those able to throw it off. They need to want to get out of it. I am very liberal and support all kinds of aid but I have been dishearten by the many opportunities extended and not taken by these groups. Help is available and they need to reach out & and take it.
