Hartman says capitalism has been the order of the day for the last 7,000 years. That's just plain wrong.
Economies had been tightly regulated and heavily taxed by monarchs up until the birth of our Republic.
The middle class is something that arises naturally from freedom.
However, when you impose GOVERNMENT monopolies (and that is exactly what it is whenever gov't does anything), you get lopsided power, meaning the people who have the power get very rich.
