Capitalism Like Virginity May Be Quite Difficult To Regain

Once lost as appears to be the case in the US now.

It is not that apparent though because the government outsources a lot of things to public corporations in which they have (constructive) control of the equity.

well it may be capitalism but it is no free market

edit...

i mean... as an ideal, 'capitalism' is getting the proverbial smear at the hands of these people...

i was just thinking that perhaps those who believe in liberty and free markets should keep the distinction in mind... being in control of the money markets may indeed make a 'capitalist' but it does not make a believer in free markets...

actually just trying to agree....
