That's normal when any system leads to insane ostentatious excesses and large disparity, as we see in this country today. It's not an indictment of capitalism, just this particular strain at this point in time... just common sense. Catholic preachers across the country preach about the crazy excesses in this country... this isn't some liberal wild-eyed idea. It's obvious to the whole world... Europe thinks we've lost it for a long time... that's why they held such high hopes for Obama... as if he could really do anything. DAK

<<I know, but just 10 years ago, it would have been nutso to say that half of Americans would believe Socialism was superior to Capitalism. Except, that seems to be the case today. Stranger things have happened.>> It isn't socialism or capitalism, it is socialism and capitalism. And are you forgetting the New Deal. And if anyone is going to destroy the country it is the plutocrats not the government. Only the government can stop the plutocrats which is what people are now figuring out. A bit late IMO.
