Chuck said "it isn't owning a business that's the problem, it's the buying and selling of it". What exactly is the problem with capitalism then if it isn't that?
Well, numerous examples have been given in this thread, IIRC, but my #1 gripe would be the ever-widening income gap between the haves and the have-nots.
Furthermore, I don't have a problem with capitalism per se, I have a problem with insufficiently regulated capitalism.
But people haven't really explained WHY and HOW capitalism is bad for poor people, just that it is.
I guess I just haven't been able to understand what it is about Capitalism that causes this gap between classes that some folks disagree with.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
