  Bigger government is never the answer

  The myth is that we’ve had capitalism in the United States. The truth is, the same marxist, global socialism that has captured our economic system, is the same one now, turning around and saying “see, we told you capitalism doesn’t work.”

  We have not had free markets in this country for a long time and at this point, the game is so rigged by powerful interests, monopoly’s, and state power, that we haven’t been operating under what most of us understand as capitalism for awhile now. It is hard to put an exact date on when it changed from true capitalism, to this rigged system because it has been a creeping phenomenon. Slowly our system was being perverted, and then, all at once. Call it finance capitalism or late stage capitalism on the kindest of terms. But whatever you do, do not call what we have, capitalism.

  What we really have is a kind of socialism for the elite and super wealthy along with the very poor; and a cut-throat survival of the fittest for everyone else. The barriers to entry are so bad and omnipresent at this point, as to make wealth something akin to predestination.

  Please don’t fall for the marxist scam that is, turning around now, with our system in obvious dysfunction and collapse, and being told, “I guess capitalism doesn’t work”. That is a lie being perpetuated by the same entities that have destroyed and rigged our system in the first place.

  Bigger government and more regulation is, never the answer, as jk has already stated, but it’s a bit more complicated than this and we will need some level of intervention to protect the American people from predatory foreign actors. We can certainly always start by slashing the size of the federal government while we figure the types of protections and exclusions necessary to reform our ailing financial system. Some of this may be as simple as enforcing anti-trust laws already on the books.

  G-d help us safe our country and destroy the forces that have been hell bent on its demise.

  lol the above comment stating that we “never had capitalism in America” had me both laughing and reconsidering my views on eugenics.

  After all… there needs to be a cap on idiocy. I can’t even fathom the level of unbridled mental gymnastics one would have to apply in order to get to that conclusion.

  America, out of every country on the planet has shown virtually every stage of capitalism.

  The insinuation that because there’s corruption/wealth-hoarding at the top and (sparse) social safety nets at the bottom (again… SPARSE…) that somehow means the system at play isn’t capitalism lol?

  I mean, Jesus christ man, thats not a bug it’s a feature! Wealth inequality happens when clear winners in a competitive system emerge.

  Because the game of capitalism doesn’t end! If it does somehow end, then it ends for EVERYONE. But so long as a currency still has value, there’s no reset to give others a shot at the top.

  Your entire view on how tf the world works needs to be retooled lol. It reeks of edgy high-school graduate in their first apartment energy.
