  5. Seriously??? Have you actually looked at the world in the last 30 years? Capitalism is not the problem, we have always been traders and merchants, but MONOPOLY Capitalism without competition or controls is the problem, to the point that they now OWN all of our governments... which is the death of any governments democratic mandate to be responsible towards the wellbeing of ALL of it's citizens. That is no longer happening in America. This obsession with money that gives them unlimited and unregulated power, they can buy or destroy anyone for the right price... at ANY COST to the majority, this is a death march to a hell that the monopolists have created. I'm for a democratic capitalist socialism that considers all of the citizens needs and their aspirations instead of just the highest briber$. All Americans flourished when the monopolists paid 91% tax during the Eisenhower years, because that money then went back to benefit those independent businesses and the jobs they created and that money flowed back into communities and made them strong and we became the envy of the world as the true epitome of individual opportunity... if you took a risk, worked hard, anyone could make a better life for themselves and their families. No more. So where are we now? Unilever, Walmart, Amazon, the Tech Cos, big pharma, those Wall St shysters and those damn private equity firms etc have gobbled up most of our former independent businesses that once made our communities strong and united... America is now a wasteland of broken opportunities and dreams for ANYONE to advance towards a more prosperous future thanks to the unrestrained, uncontrolled and under-taxed.... gluttonous maw of Monopoly.
