Pelosi says capitalism has not served the U.S. economy

[Hawkeye10]

Actually, I hope you don't pass your less than acceptable type of grammar on your own kids if you have any.

Of course you have not the first fucking clue what matters.

Get Bent.

Deal with the reality as in the following and stop farting out useless trolling nonsense:

The U.S. will remain richer than China for the next 50 years or more, says economist

The U.S. will remain wealthier than China — measured by GDP per capita — for at least the next 50 years, said Simon Baptist, global chief economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit.
His comment followed Joe Biden’s first official press conference since taking office, during which the U.S. president said he will not let China become “the leading country” globally.
The latest available data by the International Monetary Fund showed China’s GDP per capita was forecast to be $10,582.10 last year, roughly six times smaller than $63,051.40 in the U.S."

Misleading thread title. She said it hasn't served "as well as it should". Agreed. The country was built on free enterprise, made us the richest, most advanced society on the planet. Sadly, the public share of those riches has diminished in recent decades while the private share has lost all balance, causing our infrastructure to crumble and creating huge gaps in wealth. So, yes, lately capitalism has not served us as well as it should.

The Congress is wasteful and profligate. It's not the fault of capitalism. capitalism made us the richest nation in the world until da government squandered trillion after trillions

LONDON — For some, the economic philosophy of capitalism is synonymous with America.

But the concept is in urgent need of being improved and has not served the U.S. economy as well as it could have, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told an audience in London on Friday.

“In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it has not served our economy as well as it should,” she told guests attending an event at the international affairs think tank Chatham House. “So what we want to do is not depart from that, but to improve it and to make sure that it serves us.”

Globalization is the problem. Not capitalism.

Capitalism would serve us just fine if we stopped outsourcing and offshoring.

“You cannot have a system where the success of some springs from the exploitation of the workers and springs from the exploitation of the environment and the rest, and we have to correct that,” she said.

sounds like she is exploiting the ignorance of the proletariat......

[PostmodernProphet]

I think it is. Landowners and wealthy.

what a horrible world.......people can own land and possess wealth.....

[PostmodernProphet]

Marx was right that workers get exploited. Seems obvious.

yes, Karl.....paying someone wages in exchange for their time is obviously exploitation....

[PostmodernProphet]

Trump has zero power.

I wouldn't go that far.......he can still make most lib'ruls quiver.........

Then leave. Head on down to Venezuela where Socialism has produced a country where it’s citizens are starving...leaving their country to find food.

I don't believe this is the system the founders had in mind.

The founders made lots of money


They also fought the state sponsored corporation of the king of England

Globalism is code for capitulating to Chinese mercantilism.
