Capitalism is the organised legalised robbery of the working class . Greed is the enforced poverty of many and the nomadic rampaging  of accumulation and concentration for the criminal ruling elite.

@MFINN23 "we've only gotten more and more regulations over time while conditions got worse and worse"

This is a libertarian fairy tale. Go back to the dawn of the industrial revolution when there was next to no regulation and virtually no middle class. Read the horror stories that working people had to endure. Then look at what we got today. It's substantially better. It's unarguably better. Labor and market regulations have solved scores of problems and the economy better for it.

Im assuming arzoyan is calling for a resource based economy. If not that I have no idea.

Ever since Regan, Republicans have gotten crazier and crazier.

@arzoyan which planet are you living on claiming greed is exclusive to the wealthy? the fact you support a state which inhibits personal freedom and coersion demonstrates just how much more dangerous any ideology you might propse really is.

@Jellowlink "must be funny, in the rich mans world"

[LichQueenKathie]

What happened to the Republicans, that they care more about my sexuality than supporting the working man, which was their goal a mere 100+ years ago?

It's really quite evil, that people care more about what goes on with me and my girlfriend than economic prosperity, or socially limited government, or fair judicial practice. These are the issues I vote on, and yet I can't find a politician that supports my views...

[mdtalley]

"Greed is Good" never was true. "Enlightened Greed" is good, and the adage "When the market is scared, be greedy, and when the market is greedy, be scared" is still true.

@arzoyan Im living on the only planet i have access to atm. I dont know what noodles will help me with. But if you are so keen on criticizing the system, how about you give some better ideas that are not as retarded as comunism, marxism and so on.
