4. I'm a pretty unapologetic opponent of capitalism.

5. I've been called a pinko many times

I believe that nobody should have excess so long as there people who have none. Simple as that. It's fine that some people do better than others but it shouldn't be a case of where the top 0.1% of the nation earns more than the bottom 90% combined. That is immoral in my view.

6. Unregulated capitalism will destroy any political system

Where it is found. Since there is no such thing as a true 'free market', there must be a certain level of regulation.

We are currently being steamrolled, public and private institutions alike, by unregulated big business.

We must either change course, or cease to be a republic.

8. Unregulated anything can be destructive.

If we're gonna have capitalism, we need a socialistic safety net, or as the poll puts it, a certain percentage of profits going to the needy. Not a bad price for doing business, but of course the right wing will not tolerate blaspheming when it comes to their real god, Mammon.

7. Capitalism is good for the market and some individuals

not for the culture and society.

It needs democratization, unions are good, coop type organizations even better this how capitalism needs to be regulated to require there be no such thing as a 'corporation' on paper that has rights like a real person and people have democracy within the workplace, that alone would take care of a lot of environmental not to mention work safety and equitable pay issues.
