"The core concept of capitalism is that every individual should be free to pursue wealth as they see fit and keep the fruits of their labor. More critically, if you want something from society, you have to give something back in return."

That's been the principle of every post-feudal economic ideology, not just capitalism, which is defined by capital and growth through surplus value.

Currently 59-60 out of every 100 is the rate, lowest in decades.

Taking the unemployment rate without factoring in labor force participation is pointless, that's the idea behind my exaggerated example. No government uses labor force participation as a factor in their "unemployment rate". Realistically about 55% of people who can work actually do so. Also USGOV says unemployment is 5.1% currently.

Lol. How does that kool-aid taste?

100 people in a country. 50 are too young or too old or infirm for work.
of the remaining 50, 2 have jobs. The rest to not, and are not looking.

According to the interpretation used by politicians- 0% unemployment rate.

2 have jobs, one looking- 33% unemployment rate.

It doesn't refer to people without jobs, it only refers to people looking for jobs. Also, if you have had a job in the last 6 months you are called employed even if you lost the job.

The ideal unemployment rate for a healthy economy is around 3 to 5 percent, this accounts for children, retirees, normal layoff rates, and people changing careers. The current unemployment rate sits somewhere between 10 and 14 percent, depending on how you choose to crunch the numbers (it has been going down though, so that is good). A higher unemployment rate is generally a sign that there are less jobs available or a lack of proper information exchange between employers and job seekers. You also have to factor in the underemployed and people who have stopped looking for work.

Also your example is a bit skewed. The proportion of people working is much higher than 2 out of every 100, the economy wouldn't survive if so few people were doing the lions share of the work (That's part of the reason the Roman Empire fell).

I think part of the problem lies in the democratic party shift, at least in the US. The democratic party used to be the pro life party,since a large percentage was working class catholics, but when it shifted to focusing on youth, feminists and blacks, many of the northern Catholics and white southern moved to the republican party. Since the parties have also divided along religious and economic lines, we have the capitalist religious prolifers on one side and socialist secular prochoicers on the other. I think a big part of prolifers opposition to social benefits is related to party solidarity.

Perhaps I should have been clearer. I don't mean to say that all Christians are like this, not by a long shot. I was just commenting on the hypocritical nature of 'Christians' who are quick to judge and condemn but slow to show compassion and forgiveness where it is needed most.

Wow, you really went all out on this. While I admire your commitment I suggest you cease and desist, you are just making a fool of yourself... then again that's basically what you do with all of your alter-egos.

Indeed that is true. Now I would suggest refraining from future trolling activities. Or not, I cannot stop you, it is your right. But it sure doesn't make you look intelligent.
