So, what you're saying is that dysfunctional families exist only in socialist countries (which, by the way, does not include the UK). Because families like this don't exist in a capitalist system (like the U.S). Hence, this family is proof of "what socialism does to people." Does that about cover it?

Socialist policies does this to people. It promotes a general sense of laziness and entitlement.

This isn't socialism. Based on the posts here, I bet nobody could actually tell me what it is.

AIG never was and never will be capitalism.

You forgot to directly insert the word capitalist between evil and pigs.

"Evil capitalist pigs"

Too late, have you seen some of the welfare families in this country? That story doesn't have anything on them. Of course "The Biggest Looser" is about as bad, seems to glorify gluttony and sloth.
