Damn right, Prophet.

@datKidwilliaM She doesn't just defend it... she spreads it.

@skrason Greed and religion? Do the world a favor and sit at the childrens table while we adults talk

@SuperGuitarman69 No. It's GREED and RELIGION that causes all our problems.

@mikeylikesit2675 I want you to carefully reread what you just posted... The problem is GOVERNMENT! My GOD! In a free market a corporation could NEVER become a cartel or monopoly... The corporatist system was designed to prevent that... So if corporations get a leg up unethically it is because the GOVERNMENT caused it... Somehow I think you are messing with me now.. NO ONE could be that dumb. NOBODY

@SuperGuitarman69 its the interwebz. i dont care if you dont respond, and yes this is a mixed economy, which is a variety of Capitalism. the major difference is the near untouchable nature of the super powerful corporations, both in the marketplace and politics. If anything this is a corporatocracy. but the privately owned nature of the marketplace makes this -by definition- a capitalist country, something im amazed you missed but claim to have a degree in.

@mikeylikesit2675 I honestly cannot believe what I am hearing.. Even from an uneducated person.. I sent you a long PM explaining this.. WE DO NOT LIVE IN A CAPITALIST SYSTEM.. We live in a pseudo socialist one.. where is capitalism in this system????? Nowhere.. where is the taxation from the so called rich going? To pay the INTEREST ON THE DEBT TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE. NOT ONE DIME GOES TO ANY PROGRAM AT ALLLLLLLLLLL... Learn some facts.. Read my PM.. You are running out of time

@SuperGuitarman69 youre not seeing that in this capitalist system the government still controls all, the only difference is that under a socialist government at least there are systems in place to protect the people who need it, and there are systems to assist people in furthering society. In our capitalist system there is neither, the government is still bought out, while the middle class is legislated into destruction. libertarians are too idealist to see clearly, free markets = rampant crime.

@mikeylikesit2675 Part 2 you say it is a failure of capitalism and free markets, you are incorrect.. Because in actuality, it is GOVERNMENT that is getting paid by certain factions that promote legislation such as regulation to create monopolies and/or cartels that limit economic freedom. In that regards Le Monde is correct.. But it is GOVERNMENT that causes this.. In a socialist system? Cartels and monopolies reign supreme as the government controls all.. So see, just do not vote please.

@mikeylikesit2675 I love when someone throws Le Monde into the face of an actual economist.. The fact is, that this is NOT only adhering to capitalism, it is directly the complete description of socialism. See, let me explain something to you.. Educate you so you understand.. Capitalism and free markets do not exist anymore.. Government controls all of this.. In capitalist systems such as the United States, a bit more than socialist systems, but not as much as say Hong Kong.. So, when Part1

@SuperGuitarman69 But then again your degree is in econ, so youve been programmed not to think about the welfare of others, and instead simply about your own. so to you seeing some people using an unregulated econ system to make crazy money is great, where as id rather see society actually progress, where poverty is destroyed, wars are ended, blah blah blah. so to me money is the problem, and greed is killing us. but i wouldnt expect an economist to understand this.
