Reply #13: Republicans promote Corporate Feudalism

[seasat]

I agree with the tenets of a system of regulated capitalism. Free market capitalism works good in theory but it assumes that people are honest and rational. If that were the case, then a completely libertarian Ayn Rand type system would work perfect. However, being a realist, people are not honest and capitalism requires regulation to promote fair competition and encourage innovation. IMHO, this is what separates a Democrat from a Repug. The Repug system is not even libertarian. They promote incentives, subsidies, loopholes to concentrate power among a small number of favored corporations. I agree with your premise but it is not a communistic system they are promoting but a feudal system with Ken Lays replacing lords of the manor.
