Capitalism vs Corruptism

Journal by Gaaark

I have nothing against capitalism: what we seem to have nowadays is Corruptism.

Corruptism is the collecting of wealth no matter who or what.
Need another dollar? Bribe a politician to make the laws favour corporations over people.
Need ANOTHER dollar? Cut wages and hours.
Need ANOTHER dollar? Layoffs.

It use to be that employers made, what, 400X what their employees made? Now an employee has to work 2-3 jobs just to live while the 'boss' feeds the pork to make ONE MORE DOLLAR!

A little more kindness would see us in a better world.
I'd like to see politicians start thinking of the people who voted for them.

Lets get back to basic Capitalism: Corruptism is not working.

    Yeah, I wasn't saying that was a problem with capitalism. I was saying it was a problem with the US.

    I really don't get people who say they don't like WalMart but shop there either. It's obviously untrue if they keep shopping there. Personally, I dig the hell out of it and I'm not ashamed to say so. When they have adequate prices for an adequate product and provide adequate service, I'm tickled pink to give them my money. When they don't, I go elsewhere and don't begrudge them. That's how they want to do business and how they do business is their business. Mine is choosing who I do business with.
