 If children are going hungry and shoeless (as millions around the world do) , is that because THEY are lazy bums?

Capitalism fails when it fails children. It fails humanity.  I don't care about your financial arguments, Children shouldn't go hungry because of a system  they were born into that selfish adults obsessed with wealth have failed to address. 
 You realize the poorest people in CaPiTAlIsT USA are far richer than the vast majority of the rest of the world right? Our poorest people are still in the top 1% on a global scale.  
 what does this have to do with my question?  poor avoidance. 
 The point is that children DONT go hungry in capitalist systems...  
 You are delusional. You must speak from a place of great wealth and privilege.  No wonder you blind to the ills of capitalism.
