34. You're talking about REGULATED capitalism .... which we haven't had since New Deal was overturned...
Unregulated capitalism is merely organized crime --

Capitalism works when you let the weak companies and the ineffective companies die and thats not what is happening.

Capitalism also has nothing to do with competition -- it's about killing the competition --

It's a ridiculous "King-of-the-Hill" system -- intended to move the wealth and natural resources

of a nation from the many to the few -- and it has done that very successfully where it is in use.


I know your heart is in the right place but this sound like those republicans calling social security, Medicare and even Healthcare reform socialism when private companies are making all the profits from that program.

The problem isn't really that the rw calls social programs "socialism" -- though you are correct

we have already corrupted those social programs by permiting private companies to exploit them,

especially drug companies -- the problem really is that people think that "socialism" is the

USSR's "communism" or Hitler's "NAZI" party --

Rather, Russian "communism" wasn't communism --

and Hitler actually took over a truly social program -- NAZI party -- which was dedicated to

women's rights, human rights, labor, health care, preventive medicine, etal. After Hitler

took it over, of course, it was all reversed.

Socialism is respected all over the world -- except here in America where RW propaganda has

demonized it!

It is capitalism which is despised all over the world!
