@cashman7323 For someone who can not spell on a basic level, you probably should not throw around accusations like that.

Hedge is the only person who I see as telling the complete truth about our modern political and social condition - without compromise. Hats off to you, sir.

Low regulation on smaller business.

But strong Anti-trust, Fair-play and anti-exploitation laws

This is way beyond Socialism vs Capitalism

Its about Democracy vs Totalitarianism

If things actually worked US would be better off somewhere in the middle between

Socialism and capitalism with a strong core of Democracy.

A brilliant teacher.
