SelfsameSynonymRemember:
The problem isn’t that capitalism has failed, it’s that it’s working as designed.
Saying it’s failed leaves open the possibility that it can be fixed. Acknowledging that it’s working as designed makes it clear that it can’t.
StevenDBT@SelfsameSynonym exactly. It’s a feature to screw most of us over, not a bug.
Silversalty@SelfsameSynonym I'm not sure that it was designed to be like this. More a bug that wasn't anticipated and somehow can't be fixed. Could just as easily, and probably more correctly, be stated as flaws in 'democracy.' e.g. "Citizens United."
We don't have 'free markets." Wasn't that supposed to be the goal?
Simple fix. Bring back 90+% tax brackets. I know. Ha! Ha!
