Gustave,

We capitalists appreciate your restraint. The last thing we need is enemy of you caliber. lol.

We capitalists never said that capitalism is perfect. It surely isn't. Throughout the history of free enterprise there have been periods of significant excesses by government and corporate enterprises. Slowly, we have learned to put those who descend to swindling into prison where they belong. In time, we will get better at it.

The power of free enterprise is the encouragement of innovation and creation of wealth and employment opportunities for others. It really works. That's why so much of the world is resentful.

If you are railing about the excesses of capitalism only, then you and I are in agreement. If you're looking to replace capitalism with something else I defy you to find and define what that something else is.

Keep chowing down on those Big Macs and don't forget to supersize.
