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.

Of course it is. Capitalism at its heart is using capital to create more capital. Buying government to create rules that benefit the capitalist and allows the capitalist to acquire more capital is capitalism at its finest. Capitalism by its nature rewards the most efficient and buying laws to advance is more efficient then innovating.
Perhaps you're confusing the free market with capitalism?

Capitalism at its heart is private ownership of capital.
