Our economic system isn't uncommon in the current world and variations of it exists in the East as well. Most nations are bankrolling on our form of regulated capitalism, for better or worse, and it's only helping them financially. It's the difference, for example, between China now and China when it was under Chairman Mao's control. The difference is capitalism and that difference is skyrocketing them into a world power. The reason things in America have beome so broken lately is because the Capitalists corrupted the government that's supposed to be regulating them.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan 
Its the golden rule..he who has the gold makes the rule.
You cannot have a fair government under a capitalist system  Quote:You cannot have a fair government under a capitalist system Too true. Perhaps you'd care to name ONE government in human history which has been consistently fair to everyone?
