Sooner or later, Americans were bound to figure ou t that capitalism is much less than awesome. Man: If Bernie's the nominee, the republicans will run attack ads full of red flags and hammers and sickles. Woman: May day parades... politburo dudes on lenin's tomb... fire up the tivo! So awesome.
Capitalism IS Awesome. It works even better if you don’t let the takers in Society leach off the producers.
Everyone pointed to Venezuela as a wonderful workers paradise – And that worked right up until they ran out of money.
Norway is doing a little better but they are hurting too because the oil price is down.
Capitalism is what has made this country great and if we would unfetter it again this country could move forward. We are declining because we are allowing every loser and sob story to stick their hand in the government treasury and pull out what they need. Instead of demanding hard work from our citizens we are demanding the producers take care of the losers.
