Calling the USA a democracy today is a joke. This country was founded on wealthy tax evaders. These wealthy bootleggers wrote the laws to give themselves monopolies to hand down to their children. Unregulated Capitalism does nothing more than create a monarchy disguised as something else. Truth is no one has the right to peruse happiness, unless that happiness is to be a slave peasant serf to our Kings and Queens. Capitalism can coexist with democracy only if democracy regulates it from taking over everything. Capitalism is an ambitious beast that knows no ends and will do anything to get more gain more more more more. EF! Am I the only one that sees this?
