What's sad is how many here will still defend "muh capitalism" despite how painfully obviously rigged our system is... Now of course some of you might respond with something about this being an example of communism and while you're not totally wrong, if you aren't providing a solution, you're just another shill making noise.
Capitalism just leads to more tyranny if there are no regulations as the "free market" ceases to be free once one person or business buys out all the competition. Well thankfully we have antitrust laws, a proven socialist concept to counter some of the corporate corruption. But as we can see, it's not enough. While I do agree with abolishing the income tax, abolishing regulations altogether is foolishness. I mean, even Trump proved that some government intervention can be a good thing when he forced the lowering of prescription drug prices.
If we aren't willing to come together with our fellow Americans to figure out a system that's fair for everyone, then the plan is pointless. If you are STILL bullheaded about "muh Capitalism" despite the obvious corruption and rigging, then you haven't been paying attention.
The answer isn't capitalism. Nor is it socialism or communism, but rather the good ideas of those systems, the proven ideas in US law and even some in the European system- I mean for fucks sake "all men are created equal" is in our founding documents and we've allowed for a system to exist that does the opposite. No more.
The problem isn't Capitlism and free markets. It is man's propensity for evil, especially when they are unconstrained by morality (specifically, Biblical morality). Our Founding Fathers warned us of this very thing.
Those are good points. I'm all in favor of capitalism, as envisioned by the founding fathers. At that time, it was very difficult to remove all competition on a national scale, or even on the state level. Every town of any significance had it's own general store, or three, a blacksmith, saloon, etc. If someone rose to national prominence, it was through a superior product and/or service, and competition could pop up anywhere to challenge them.
We need a level playing field, and some way of preventing a handful of people from controlling every boardroom of every major corporation. And we need to remove all the secret societies with their handshake agreements and control over their fellows through the evil things they participated in together.
This reminds me of Walmart. They succeeded in small towns because they provided products that the local mom and pop stores couldn't match for price or variety. But how much of that was due to cheap Chineeze imports? What if they were forced to buy American, and had to franchise stores in small towns where the corporation doesn't own or run the store? How many of these big retail corporations are structured as real estate holding companies under the guise of being a retailer?

Just trying to throw out ideas for discussion....
