Capitalism in its purest form already failed many many times. Greed unhindered and with virtually no restrictions only rewards the amoral Greedy and amoral greed. Thus, the regulations that were came into existence after the Great Depression, and progressive income taxes up to 91% (maximum tax rate) in the 50's. This reform movement was plundered particularly in the 80's, and now we have the mess we are in. And Obama is not proposing anything substantial to address the real mess we are in...

"Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society."

The way Earthquake affected people afraid of their cracked walls & roofs to be falling on them are sitting under the open sky in the chilled cold, similarly the US investors afraid of declining economy are not investing any more in the collapsed US financial crisis scared of their investments to distort in the suicide economy, thus making the US economy balloon burst altogether. 3:54 And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.
