1. off to the greatest for you. nt

[texastoast]

2. If only

If only we could trust capitalists to have the best interest of their own children at heart . . .

If only they could be visionary about something other than the size of their own wallets . . .

Nah.

[Axle_techie]

4. I'm a capitalist

who realizes that without a planet, there is no future, and if I look to the future, my children could have a bright future. Making money and keeping it in your family is not exclusive to helping others or the environment.

[YOY]

10. You really thought deeply on that one!

[texastoast]

23. Tell me how that is done when we have our 10,000,000,000 planetary population

in a few years.

Please explain that to me in deep detail.

And let us know how you feel about government regulation and the need (or lack thereof) for taxation.

[Axle_techie]

31. What's to explain?

Capitalism does not exclude compassion. If I am making a bunch of money, I will be sharing and it will be due to my free will and compassion, not because it was demanded of me.

Government regulation is unfortunate but necessary to keep the field even.

[texastoast]

32. We agree

that government regulation is necessary.

"Upton Sinclair originally intended to expose 'the inferno of exploitation (of the typical American factory worker at the turn of the 20th Century),' but the reading public instead fixated on food safety as the novel's most pressing issue. In fact, Sinclair bitterly admitted his celebrity rose, "not because the public cared anything about the workers, but simply because the public did not want to eat tubercular beef."

27. "Making money and keeping it in your family is not exclusive to helping others or the environment."

It is for some capitalists.

[Terry in Austin]

29. A small-c capitalist

As a side point, a capitalist is one who practices capitalism, the core of which is lending money at interest.

Most people refer to "Capitalism" as sort of a mom-and-apple-pie synonym for "our system." In such cases, being "a Capitalist" amounts to little more than being "a booster for our system."

[Myrina]

16. Lovely except that in so many cases,

gov't willingly turning a blind eye to who's stuffing their pockets is also what allows this shit to go on, under the guise of so-called 'regulations' (see: Cheney Energy Task Force).
