America isn't a capitalist nation and arguably hasn't been one since the "Reagan Revolution". The economic system we currently use is corporate welfare, featuring privatized profit and socialized risk.
Libertarians will claim that government is evil and businesses should be trusted with all the wealth and power. Socialists will claim that business is evil and government should be trusted with all the wealth and power. I believe both are what they are and have their roles to play. Business generates wealth while government regulation keeps them honest.
What's needed is to return to what we had prior to Reagan, where the rich paid a much greater share of the taxes. The rich benefit the most from society and should therefore pay more in taxes to support it.
