Nothing about capitalism demands an ugly lack of proper legislation, regulation, and enforcement. I would not like to write off capitalism on the basis of a rigged system that just uses the name for ideological purposes.

- QAPereo 9y agoBalance is key, and difficult, and will always tend to fall out of balance under external influences. All too often though I feel that the problem is framed as "too hard" you know? It is not too hard, if more people were on board and made it a priority. Sadly history seems to indicate that it will take a lot for that to happen, if it does. Without popular support and voter oversight, government becomes toxic, but without government support and oversight, things fall apart.
