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.

    The US is objectively quite fascist but we maintain the veneer of democracy for now.

    There's just no talking to some people. If you're that self-delusional, you're not going to be convinced by logic and reason.

    "Disagrees with Uzzard" != delusional. You're such a whiny little bitch. And you're wrong, too, which is where your real sin lies...
