  1. Human beings didn't evolve to survive in a crony capitalist society that doesn't always reward the intelligent or the creative. This is why capitalism has failed.

  2. BarrySlisk Also, why is capitalism above criticism? Anytime somebody criticizes it, somebody like you comes along with an emotional appeal to defend it. Capitalism is the Golden Calf we all worship, isn't it? Fortunately my FREE SPEECH allows me to criticize the imperfections within capitalism. I have a right to question everything the way Socrates questioned everything. I should be able to question capitalism and the government and every multinational corporation in the world. I should question everything.

  3. BarrySlisk I define capitalism as any system that exploits the workers. If capitalism isn't above criticism, why do you (and most Americans) shoot down people who criticize it then? People in the United States are afraid to criticize capitalism because defenders of the status quo accuse them of being communist or bring up North Korea like you did. You can't criticize capitalism without somebody bringing up communism. This is a problem because capitalism will never improve if nobody can critique it without getting eaten alive.

  4. BarrySlisk North Korea is a dictatorship. Very much a capitalist one at that.

  5. There's a solution. Rob and murder the wealthy.

  6. Send the greediest Bernie Madoff types a message and if they still don't get it tell them to get their affairs in order. There's a viable solution too. The rich Ebenezer Scrooges of the world can either change or die. The entire Wall Street culture needs a complete makeover and if you can't change a bad culture you simply destroy it and regulate it to death.

  7. And if Wall Street doesn't like being bullied maybe they prefer to be bombed instead. There are always solutions.
