You're creating logical flaws by oversimplifying what I'm saying. You really see this as being the result of capitalism or socialism being so simplistically good or bad and not as a result of culture?

Capitalism is an economic system which uses prices to calculate whether or not a particular activity produces positive utility, i.e. is profitable. The only requirement is a commitment to the system (no corrupt government, no violence).
What you fail to understand is that a free market gives you what you want. If your goal is making sure your neighbors have health care despite losing their jobs, you can contribute to a charity. If your goal is an iPhone 6, that works too.

Yup, this is Socialism 101. You know what's best for everyone. If you are so enamored of European Socialism, why don't you move there? I am not trolling here, either. Workpermit.com suggests "Denmark is one of the European Union's most active members in trying to recruit skilled workers from around the world." Euros all speak English well, and after 5-10 years you'll know Danish and be able to naturalize.
