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.

You nailed the core of the problem there if you'd noticed it. Politicians. In a healthy market with generally honest politicians to keep it that way, that can't happen. Bad employers quickly lose out in a competitive job market exactly the same as a bad product priced the same as a good one will lose out on the shelves.
Unfortunately the above means you have to stop voting for lizard people so the wrong lizard doesn't win, ever, and vote for semi-decent human beings. Note, semi-decent requires that they have never once in their life sold an anti-competitive law to anyone, so every last one of the current batch is out.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

They're cabbages. Cabbages posing as human beings.
Sometimes as human doings even.

I'd vote for a cabbage. You can't get coleslaw from a lizard.
La politica e i criminali sono la stessa cosa..
