More capitalists jumping to their deaths!

All the crime(because life is just too expensive), all the debt and slavery(forced to work) associated with it, all the Prozac popping depressed citizens, all the broken families due to money problems, etc....

The more I see Capitalism at work? The more I understand that it spawns cheaters, liars, thieves, corruption, etc...

Anyone that is not pigging out at the pig troughs of capitalism and supports capitalism, has been deceived to support a system that enslaves them to the super rich.


“Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.”


John Maynard Keynes


Heck even the crony's of Communism/Fascism will tell you that communism is a wonderful system.

You cannot have true capitalism with the super rich buying off candidates/politicians. The politicians will end up working for the 1% rich. Not the people or common good of society.

You want to bring Capitalism back to it's original state and REALLY spur competition? You need to first have set rates on resources. Doesn't matter if you buy 100 or 1,000,000 the price of the item should be the same. That way ALL people have a fair opportunity(true competition). The current system aids the wealthy. Second. All these tax write offs businesses receive should be mostly abolished. (except for subsidies for like farmlands stuck by drought and such things as I have explained in other posts) If a business cannot flourish without tax breaks, then that clearly shows that the system doesn't work......

Why should big business skirt their tax duties and leave a bigger burden to small businesses and tax payers? Their "excuse" is trickle down economics. But we've all seen this as a colossal failure. If there is still demand, let another person try their luck to fill it.

Big business uses tax cuts to grow their business so large that the small businesses cant compete, giving the big companies a near monopoly on services. That goes against the very basic principle of capitalism. Competition.

Still people will always find a way to cheat when there is money involved. But what the politicians have done is they made tax evasion pretty much legal. Making big corps free from paying taxes. Don't believe when they say big corps pay the most taxes. What they are talking about is the taxes collected from their employees(the taxes the employees payed out of their payrolls).

How can we keep the government/politicians in check? We need to protest. I've recently seen protests in Venezuela and Brazil where the people held large protests and the government caved in to the masses or faced uprising. Why don't Americans protest? They believe the lies and scare tactics of their politicians and religious leaders.....Believe me when I tell you the elites OWN organized religions.

I know that many people cannot relate to me because I live in one of the most expensive places to live, but this is your future if you do not wake up!

Toronto was rated one of the worst places to live. Cost of an average home? $500,000(thanks to foreign investors that are scooping up land like hot cakes). That's thanks to capitalism and what the market will bear(which means they limit homes and raise the prices of homes for top profits) Gas? $1.30 a liter. Which is odd because we are a major oil producer. But government would rather sell it to foreigners for more money then sell to their own people for cheap. Capitalist greed.

Tax is at 13%. And businesses are allowed to right off the total amount. Why? Business were struggling, so now they have to be subsidized by the public. That's a sign of a broken system. There are also tax hikes in electricity, gas and everything else. Insurance is like $6000 a year for new drivers.

When did this increase start occurring? Thanks to our government privatizing(or sub contracting) all our services. Yes via capitalism. More middlemen means more mouths to feed for the consumers/tax payers.

Rent is 1400+ utilities for a home and a 2 bedroom is 1000+ utilities. Thanks to the jew mayor Mel Lastman who removed a rent cap(at $600)that wanted to model Toronto after super expensive Jew run New York City. Result? Houses jumped almost $200,000 dollars more over night. Who benefitted most? The BIG property owners.


As a result? Even our crime rate has gone up, since most people have to sell drugs or prostitute themselves to make ends meet, a'la NYC. The rich guys love the fact more prostitutes are on the market and love the fact that people do more drugs, because the biggest drug dealers are the kids if the super wealthy and they grow up and inherit their father's wealth and what do you think happens next?

I also see all this marketing down to kids. All of them want to follow the rich and buy things they don't really need to follow fashion. Like $600 dollar jeans or expansive cars or what not. Instead of saving for tomorrow, they all live for today. Paycheck to paycheck. That is until they get married or move out and realize the error of their ways......
 
capitalism is great. what we have today, in this world, is not capitalism......it's cronyism.


Capitalism caters to greed. I wouldn't call it great. The rich eventually out pace the poor. Though yes, what you have today is actually Fascism, where corporations have government in their pockets.

you have this for two reasons.

1) the corporations do not have the government in their pockets because the government is a willing participant, not an indentured servant
2) we the people, as a majority, are too dumb, blind, stupid, and apathetic to make any realistic changes by electing someone other than establishment politicians.

1)Really? Then there wouldn't be any need for lobbyists now would there? :)
2) Correct. For every rich man there are about 1000 dumb dumbs they robbed. The problem is that most of the dumb dumbs believe the lies told to them to justify the thievery.

are you saying that our elected officials are so easily persuaded that all a business venture has to do is pay some schmo a half million in salary and it's done?

and we solve that how? by educating ourselves better? or by removing the responsibility altogether and placing it in the hands of another gov entity, entrusting them to work for our better interests?

Something like that. If that doesn't work they make them an offer they cant refuse. Also most of these guys elites hand pick have skeletons in their closet the elites can expose. For insurance.

The internet has solved that. Before it was easy for them to control information(Publishing companies, libraries, schools, media, etc..) and keep people fooled. In today's day and age, not so much. What they are doing is pumping out mis-information to bury the truth. Though the smart guys aren't falling for it.

We must remove the system that allows the smarty ones to feed of the dumb ones. That is capitalism.
 
That and unbridled greed at anyone and anythings expense including collapsing the country

Problem is that capitalism breeds greed. It's the governments job to keep it in check, but when the greedy guys are able to bribe politicians, that idea goes out the window.

not being able to tell that the politicians are actually IN ON IT, making millions upon millions while they screw you and me, simply means that you are just too stupid to listen to.
