Our current version of Capitalism isn’t working for most people! So why are you insistent on continuing to do the same thing over, to get continually worse results.
Because it works for people like you and I ? That doesn’t seem like a reasonable enough reason to continue anything.
bullshite. It absolutely DOES work for most people

Our middle class is dwindling. You can’t say that without literally ignoring the truth. We get nickel and dimed in every facet of life now due to unchecked capitalism and get little return. Home ownership is down, predatory credit leaning is up, prices are up.
And you think this something worth being proud of? Why? For the figment of imagination of some glorious “American way?” I know it sounds pretty but people are suffering and are working hard to barely stay afloat. There’s nothing in that worth a damn but pride.
And ego and pride always come before the fall

In the USA the power to succeed rests in the people.
You have been given every opportunity from education to potential job training to better yourself. Move, get training, learn to read, etc.
If you dont take advantage of it, I shouldnt have to support your arse to perpetuality.
How are these people being kept from education and training that would benefit them?

I’m not even saying we need to go to wholly different system. We just need major tweaks within our system to get it where it helps people more than it’s hurts them.

Fiscal policy, not opportunity.
Throwing money at problems makes living here expensive. Youre just perpetuating it.

All that wealth ends up parked in the same place, redistribution or not.
I recommend some reading for this socialist nitwit

He’s not wrong. It isn’t working for most people in part because the government has gotten so powerful that companies literally buy politicians to get preferential treatment, write legislation to favor themselves, and to get taxpayer money.
If we took power away from DC, capitalism would work way better.

They hate white people with a passion, yet go out of their way to move to where their enemies live. Amazing, isn't it?
What will happen? They will blame whitey, then go and leach off of someone else until it is all destroyed.
Progressives do not create anything. They destroy everything they touch.

no one is arguing that it is a perfect system and that it can't be better.....but your opinion that Capitalism doesn't work for most of us is idiotic as hell.
Our biggest issue is a history of an over-involved government thinking they know what's best for people and fricking things up.

Capitalism has in fact helped more people than it has hurt and you can’t prove otherwise. Capitalism has lifted more people out of extreme poverty than any other economic system, ever. Since 1990, the global rate of extreme poverty has fallen from roughly 36% to about 8%.

as a household of two small business ownerships....I can absolutely tell you that the nickel and diming come from the insane amount of taxes we have to pay.
Federal, state, and local governments are far more detrimental to this middle class household than any corporation.
