    Capitalism has worked for the country as a whole. too bad the wealthy could not leave it alone. They moved us to oligopoly. They have so much money, power and control over the news, that most of us have been convinced we are still moving together. The wealthy have decoupled from us. They have their own gated communities, . They go to their private clubs. Play golf on private courses. They send their kids to separate and special schools. They do nothing with the masses. The wealth gap is worse than the Gilded age and Americans think they can get ahead. That is a myth.

    I certainly hope that is what is happening.

    We probably won't know for sure until he writes his memoirs.
    Kelly is scum too

    Capitalism used to work for the country as a whole. Yeah. Given on who you deem "the whole" to be, but point taken. No longer the case, won't pretend. What did you think they would do? "Power concedes nothing without first a demand."

    It started with poisoning the people about unions. Unions are how workers have the power to stand up to companies and make demands. Since they were gutted, wages and benefits have dropped in relation to those on top. Profits are ayt all time highs and wages are flat or dropping. That is what happens when execs can power a single workr. We gave away that power and the poor and middle class are so powerfully propagandized against unions, that they are damaging themselves badly. Ask young poeople about unions. They know they are bad. They cannot tell you why. The powerful propaganda of the rich has worked perfectly to divide and separate us ,so we have no power.

    It's all in the Powell Memorandum. The masses must be kept struggling economically; they're less socially and politically active that way. Squeeze them.
