The war on capitalism makes me fucking sick to my stomach.
I concede I will never have Mike Damone type BIG BUCKS.
But I appreciate the simple fact every corporation has a right to make a profit and nobody owes me anything ...
My favorite line from the article is that 28% of Americans hate Walmart ... and he points out 72% approval is kick ass.

I can't support Walmart because of those big greedy corporate pigs forcing people to work for them at low wages. No one needs that much money to themselves... It just isn't fair.

The war on capitalism was brought about by the excesses and abuses of those that use it as a tool of oppression and control, by scum companies like Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns that are parasites on the economy, companies that give their CEO's golden parachutes so that they can jump ship while the companies they pillaged crumbled to the ground while the taxpayers are forced by the government to foot the bill to keep them afloat. Such companies need to just die and not be put on lifelines at our expense so that they can rape the taxpayer and economy again later on down the road. People are also disgusted and fed up by the big business interests in Washington paying off politicians and effectively making them stooges of special interests.
Most people agree that for now, capitalism is the best choice out of a small array of choices available, but it has also become corrupted and unbalanced. Just like there's a separation of church and state, there should also be a separation of capitalism and state, except to contain it when necessary, to root out and punish corruption, and to ensure that a few bastards don't end up controlling and running the entire system by and for themselves.

That's all that's needed here.
I am more disgusted by politicians accepting the payoff than the people doing the paying. How hard is for 535 people to control themselves?

We the sheep don't have the stomach to try to control the politicians that are supposed to be representing us. Reading about Kim Kardashian's ass implants and what clubs Jay-Z and Beyoncé go to is more important to us.

Those that do have the stomach to try and fix things get called names and marginalized as fringe nut jobs. While others are happy to give up liberty, freedom, and choice in exchange for perceived security provided by the government. Others just want free shit. Others don't pay attention unless something directly affects them. Just remember this, people are stupid, and they vote.

Here is a hint.... the US was not founded as a capitalist nation, and it has never been truly capitalist.
Take away the government handouts that created the monopolies in railroads, mining, forestry, shipping, telecom, healthcare... and most of the oligopolies that make up the fortune 500... and we'd have a very different economy today. We might even have one that more people respected.

In a sense it was "founded" on capitalism. Private ownership of property and the means of production.
It was founded on a fundamental right to accumulate and own property (wealth). And yes, no monopoly has ever existed without significant government help. The closest we have had to capitalism was in the 1870s and 80s were real wages grew over 60%. Even then the government was fucking it up.
