I was writing a really long, researched comment with citations about income disparity, labor regulations(vacations, compensation, etc), comparisons with other first world countries and then just deleted all of that.
There is no way I'll be able to change your mind. "Free market" capitalism in US is a religion at this point and arguing with its proponents, you certainly among them, is an exercise in futility.
- rebootthesystem 12y agoI would think few are delusional enough to think that true free market capitalism exists in the US. I am certainly not one of those people. The use of "free market" in my case is just a term of trade to mean a "mostly free market with lots of caveats". That said, no need to waste your time with a long reply. I really don't think it is worth anyone's while to engage in a typical HN battle of minutiae. You know: What is the meaning of "is" type discussions. My only point is that businesses are not driven or managed by greed. That is very, very rare. As an entrepreneur yourself I would hope you can agree with this simple statement without looking for corner cases that could support a 300 comment thread.
