I tend to think that capitalism is human nature and that government is it's restirction. I like human nature, when it's healthy.
I guess it's Ok to differ.

But it's not healthy, Preechr. In what way is it healthy that someone's starving in the cold streets when Oprah is giving away 276 brand new cars? How is it healthy that the lady I handed my shiny new insurance card to, smiling and happy that for once in my life I have coverage, works at the hospital and
just got hers cut off? Single mother with three kids. Why do CEOs own three houses on Cape Cod and two in Connecticut when some of the hardest working people I know live in run-down apartments in shitty neighborhoods? What's healthy about this economy?
I said right in my post that it's not evil, it's ignorance. It's a workable system but it's gone way out of control. There needs to be some sort of shakedown here. Are you playing a game with me or do you really believe this monstrosity is in working order?
