| In a battle between Capitalism and Liberty in America...... |
|
Capitalism will win every time.
To protect their capitalism, your liberties will be sacrificed.
In America, the lust for money outweighs the human right of liberty.

| 4. Capitalism has nothing to do with Democracy or Civil Liberties... |
|
Capitalism is by its very nature conservative and tyrannical. Hartmann talks about this all the time. The only way to keep this savage system in check is by imposing the power of democratic institutions upon it; such as New Deal policies and massive labor organizing.

I came off sounding all libertarian-y didn't I. Didn't mean to, I assure you. Yes I agree with you, Government, labor unions, etc. have to keep capitalism in check.
