Capitalism? Where? Not in a country where the entire political machine exists to transfer tax receipts to a very few oligopolistic defence contractors.
If that was happening in any South-East Asian or Eastern European country, FOX and CNN would call it "crony capitalism".
We in the West spent trillions of future dollars during the Cold War - to prevent people from experimenting with the ownership structure of their capital. We wound up paying 50c in the dollar in taxes to our own socialist behemoth. Where's the "capitalism" in that?
Where's the "capitalism" in using the aforementioned military to accumulate other people's resources? Capitalism is about unfettered, beautiful markets, not about putting the children of an economic underclass on the ground to launch the ultimate "hostile takeover".
I love my markets, and it pains me to see them descending into cronyism (since Lincoln's day). I really hope that I've actually found some capitalists here...
