Umm in case you haven't noticed capitalism isn't working.It never did work.Capitalism by necessity mixes a bit of socialism into itself to keep from the exploitation system capitalism requires from collapsing into something akin to feudalism/revolt. Passing the New Deal in effect said, because capitalism as a system leads to oligarchy, the new deal exists to keep the poor from revolting and finding other ways to survive with each other and abandoning the rich and their exploitative hoarding and distribution systems and doing it in a way without the rich having any power. The rich can't be lords of the manor if they have to rely on themselves to maintain the fields.The rich depend like tapeworms upon scarcity,poverty,class competition,oppression war.. The rich NEED people of the lower classes to be fighting amongst each other,distracted,scared of 'losing',duped,corrupt enough to be bribed and compete but not brazen enough to rich authority to steal or disobey their commands,They need people to be pacified enough with junk and ignorance to let the rich exploit them for their minds,labor and creativity .The rich want their cheap labor..cheep as possible.Slavery is in their interests as long as people fall for it! And with the hours Americans work compared to those evil democratic liberal socialist countries in Europe that have universal health care we are almost slaves.
There are tons of social 'reform'patches that have been added onto the silly 'free trade' delusions of oligarchies and there are lots of people falling through cracks by no fault of theirs into suffering in this mixed economic system.The rich have no right to be lords.But stupid people who do not value them self enough don't demand to be treated as equals and get a fair deal out of corporate pigs for their work and time.Until we wake up and smell the exploitation..The rich will avoid having to concede something to keep the poor from seeing they are being used up.When the greedy take too much from people they tend to revolt and go after the lying rich thief criminals in power.This reaction to deprivation,abuse and exploitation by the rich terrifies the rich. The rich NEVER want to pay the pipers.
In this crappy 'system' I await the day when people wake up,and realize the rich just want our lives and obedience and do not care about us at all because they see us all as expendable slaves or a cash crop. This ugly truth will dawn on more people after bush has fucked up our lives, and the internecine fighting gets crazy, all we are left with is loopholes for the obscenely rich who don't need any more money to get more money,and this will not work. Anybody with nothing left knows freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.The rich have EVERYTHING to lose if they do not at least attempt to mix the falsehoods they espouse of unregulated capitalism with a little reality of socialism.
And when I hear people saying stuff like they wish there were more Jobs,corporate regulations ,limits on what pharmacy companies can charge,insurance costs too much,and its picky,clear channel is dominating the media....I also see the same refusal of the poor and middle class to honestly look at the source of our collective woes is in this unfair system distribution of wealth and socio-political inequality we are born into to the rich.
Domination,deliberate deprivation and internecine war is a product of greedy human evil.Capitalism relies on deprivation ,domination and'competition'.Capitalism is very much like feudalism it just has money hiding the face of the king instead of subjects being loyal to a king directly.Being a slave to a paymaster(boss) or landlord still means you are beholden and bound to a lord and master.
Nice lords who give you benefits at work, or try to clean up industry toxins are still lords.
