What strikes me is the presence of corporate bailout and subsidies with tax dollars and the pre eminence of nepotism, while at the same time the public faces austerity. How can this be said to be Capitalism?
True Capitalism would allow these obsolete systems to fail and new ones would replace them (laissez faire). This would also include investing tax dollars into education, healthcare and infrastructure projects, including robust economic oversight (Strong and independent FBI and SEC).
I do not believe the current system is Capitalistic, not since at least 2008, sooner if you include military intervention as a form of subsidy.
i believe ours is a difference of opinion.
