Hey friends, just trying to get an idea of how people think of capitalism in different communities. What first comes to mind when you think of that word? Is it your national or international retail giants, resource extraction, or logistics companies? Or perhaps your local diner, hardware or convenience store? The black market? Or something else?
Agreed! Capitalism works great until the wealthy buy the politicians and the voters lose their moral compass. Then you have what we see today, late stage capitalism. No reason we can’t break the monopolies and tax the snot out of the rich, but your average Joe Blow either doesn’t realize what’s happening or care, doesn’t demand good governance.
