Capitalism is not the problem, the inherently ANTI-CAPITALISTIC merger of GOVERNMENT and CORPORATIONS, where the GOVERNMENT picks the winners & losers (not the market), is the problem. This is not free-market capitalism; and yes when we say capitalism, 99.99% of us mean FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM.

When the government, by force of law, STEALS your money and uses it to pick winners and losers, it is not capitalism failing - what is failing is something much more akin to actual FACISM (or any of the other forms of socialism).

Indeed, when the government doles out cash stolen from the populace, that action is in direct OPPOSITION to the most basic tenants CAPITALISM.

We do not have Capitalism currently in the USA. We have Facism, which is the merger of Big Corporate with Big Government as clearly shown in the latest DHS email releases. Choosing between Facist and Communist is No Choice, both are Tyrannical. Going Gooey Green is also Tyrannical and stupidly unworkable as an aside.

Destroying Individual striving in any arena, spiritual, economic, or other endeavors is the road to ruin.

Wealth accumulation is not inheriently Evil, but Suppressing wealth accumulation is Evil. People are Flawed, No Governmental Authority is anything more than a Flawed Group.

Our Founders had / have much wisdom on how to create an orderly society if anyone cares to read and study it.
