Everyone that thinks that they oppose capitalism and want socialism/communism need to remember where they live, in the greatest country on earth. we made it this far on the hard work of our ancestors. this country was built on capitalism. you get what you work for, and it worked out great, it produced this great country. why would you want to take away the basis of what this country was made on?
Not a great understanding of history, huh? The wealth of this nation was actually created due to the equivalent of trillions of dollars in free slave labor - AFTER the theft of the land through genocide. It has since been sustained through resource wars, a massive prison industrial complex, and peddling goods that no one needs produced in horrific conditions in the third world. If this is the "greatest" country capitalism can produce, you can have it.
We don't.
We want the companies intact as part of the goals. They will provide us with the jobs we need so that we may live better lives.
Well said! These ungrateful brats don't know how fortunate they are. They should have been sent on class trips to Cuba or Venezuela. Unfortunately, this country is filled with hippies who are well past their expiration date, who never know when get off the stage and let the next guy have a shot at it - just like the Oscars, and now we have the hippie's kids who are wannabe-hippies. If corpoations and wall street are greedy rich money-hungry addicts, what does that make this group?
