Our government forces business to shut down, selectively of course, their favorite businesses get to stay open, the economy tanks, and the left blames capitalism. You can't make this level of stupid up. Last time I checked, the government interfering in business is the literal opposite of capitalism.

We voted them into office, whose fault do you think it is?

You should let homeless people live at your house for free, and if you disagree, you're a homeless person murderer.

@ColorMatching so what you're saying is, there's a difference between what socialism actually is, and what people who are so stupid they think socialism is a good idea think it is. Yea, we all know that.

@pkway9394 yea actually it has worked pretty well. When the US had a less regulated economy, Americans were doing better. That's a verifiable fact. And before you straw man me, I'm not talking about a completely unregulated, laissez faire system, some regulations are good. But we need less, not more. The system is rigged for a handful of mega corporations to have a disproportionate amount of the total business. And all of the left's proposals would only tip the scale even further in that direction.

@Octoberfurst the US has some of the heaviest business regulations in the world though. It's a very bizarre mix of capitalism and socialism, but what's hilarious is how all the things the left complains about, and blames capitalism, are actually not capitalism at all. If the government is pushing the scale, it's not capitalism, it's really that simple.

Lmao, I said the same thing. They know their leftist audience has tiny brain syndrome, it doesn't matter if it makes sense, just say "capitalism bad" and they'll all clap and bark like sea lions with a head injury.

@swabby913 and it's a slightly amended version of the exact same scheme that's been used to manipulate idiots since socialism was first proposed. How many "that wasn't real socialism!" Failures is it going to take before people realize that the failures weren't a bug, they were a feature? It's really mind blowing.

@stumblingmumbler the US has some of the highest corporate tax rates in the world.

@stumblingmumbler so what part about that is capitalism? That sounds more like socialism to me, more specifically the fascist variety of socialism. Merging of corporations and state. Capitalism is the government staying out of business and letting private enterprise do it's thing. And I'm not for completely unregulated capitalism, I think employees are entitled to certain protections, and employers as well, and I think some safety and environmental protocols are a good thing as well. But why should corporations have to pay taxes at all? They're not people, the people who run corporations already pay taxes. Don't you want them to have an incentive to keep their production domestic? Raising their taxes only gives them incentive to outsource overseas, to countries like China who don't give a shit about labor regulations or ethical treatment of people or the environment.

@MichaelTorres-b2v I don't understand how people can think the US is headed towards unchecked capitalism, we've been heading steadily and rapidly away from capitalism for several decades now, we have one of the most heavily regulated economies of any major developed nation. We have heavier regulations on business than China or Russia in some ways. You can think that's good, or bad, or somewhere in between, don't really care, but to think we're headed in the direction of more capitalism is completely delusional.

@MichaelTorres-b2v lmfao, you're delusional. The wealth gap is because of government intervention. It's not a bug, it's a feature, and tiny brains like you voted for it.
