There is no more capitalism in the US. Hasn’t been there since the corporations took their first dollar of welfare and accepted the first Act of Congress to subsidise their business.

It is dead.

Capitalism doesn’t work. Just as Communism and Democracy doesn’t work. They are pipe dreams. Utopian ideals. Works of fantasy.

People are too lazy and selfish to produce the work by your own hands for capitalism. So they ask for help. They seek to hedge their investments by plying government officials to protect them. Subsidies, protection tariffs, etc. They can’t compete so they look for protection.

People are too lazy and greedy for communism. No one wants to work an equal day as the next guy. They want to take it easy. And sharing? Sure we’ll share on OUR terms!

People are too lazy for democracy. What I have to go to the voting booth cos some schmuck in Terra Haute needs a traffic light? Fuck that! Get some other guy to do it for me. I’m watching the game, drinking and beer and mentally screwing the 17 year old girl across the street!

There is NOTHING wrong with share burdens.
There is NOTHING wrong with taking it easy at times.
There is NOTHING wrong with protecting your investments.
There is NOTHING wrong with electing officials to manage that which we have little time to do.

That is called a Free Republic.

It is the BEST and WORST form of government on the planet. Run right its awesome! Run wrong and it all goes to shit.

OUR republic is not shit. It is broken, rusted and moth-eaten. It is filled with archaic ideals from a time 200-300 years ago. Based on systems that no longer apply. But we doggedly keep championing them because its the American Tradition.

More like tradition for tradition’s sake.

That which cannot change and grow will die.

We have not changed. Despite the plutocrat Obama’s chant. There was no change. Just business as usual.
